Product information
XL size cowhide leather strop for daily maintenance and polishing of the open razor. This strop has a leather stropping surface on one side. The leather side is for polishing the razor.
Your open razor stays sharp longer with this strop.
Size: 48 x 8 cm
Use the stropping paste for smooth gliding of the blade over the strop and protection of the strop.
Usage
- Keep the strop taut.
- Keep the blade flat (0 degrees) relative to the stropping surface of the strop.
- Always move or stroke the razor in the direction of the back of the blade.
- Be careful, do not press the cutting edge against the strop surface while stropping back and forth. This causes the cutting edge to bite into the leather and damages the strop.
- Gently stroke the razor blade back and forth over the strop.
The leather of the strop can dry out and crack. Maintain the strop by regularly applying leather grease or strop paste.
