Razor Stropping Basics
Basic Rules for Straight Razor Stropping
It is important to check your straight razor first if it is sharp before wet shaving.
:: Sharpen your straight razor gently, without hitting it or pressing it against the strop. The razor's own weight should be enough to achieve proper sharpening. Don't hit your razor on the strop or press it against it. You could cause it to break.
:: Use the entire surface of the strop. Move the razor skewed, from top to bottom and bottom to top.
:: Keep your razor flat on the leather of the strop while sharpening. Both the back and edge should lay flat on it. Don't lay only the edge or part of the blade on the strop.
:: Pivot the razor on its back at the end of your sharpening stroke when you reach the bottom of the leather. Keep the razor's back in constant contact with the strop. Repeat the same gesture when you finish the counterstroke at the high end of the strop. Don't let the back of the razor leave the leather, or pivot the razor on its edge.
:: Keep the leather of your strop clean. Pass the palm of your hand over the leather before each sharpening session to wipe off dust or dirt.
:: Strop your razor for the first time only after it has been used several times. Dry your razor well after each use if it is made of carbon steel. A carbon steel razor will rust if not stored dry.
Stropping is used in the olden days but it is still vital today.

Safety Razor $92.4 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A safety razor is a razor where the skin is protected from all but the very edge of the blade. These razors eliminate the possibility of a user being seriously injured by the blade, as is possible with a straight razor. Prior to the invention of the first safety razor most men used a straight razor. These razors are still available today from several different manufacturers, but they are not very popular, because they require more skill and attention to use properly.Described as a razor where a small blade is held in a suitable frame and provided with a guard to prevent the edge of the razor from cutting into the skin, the first American safety razor was patented in 1880 by the Kampfe Brothers. The new razor featured a wire skinguard along the razors edge. Only one side of the actual blade is used to shave, and it must be removed often for sharpening.

Edwin Jagger Double Edge Razor $49.98 As Europe's foremost manufacturer of the finest hand-made shaving equipment, Edwin Jagger created the original Chatsworth Imitation Ivory range to meet customer demand for something like the genuine ivory of days gone by. Originally the domain of royalty and the wealthy, shaving was revolutionized in the late 1800s when American inventor King Camp Gillette created the double edge safety razor with disposable blades, thus enabling the general public to own razors. The reported benefits of using a double edge razor include healthier skin, a better quality shave, using less expensive than cartridge, recyclable blades and improved wellbeing, because when you look your best, you feel better and - it is surprisingly fun. This traditional safety razor in imitation ivory with hard, chrome-plated collar offers a simple, but effective, single cutting action similar to that of open-bladed, cut throat razors. This razor is lightweight, yet beautifully balanced and includes a set of 5 razor blades. |
