FAQs

What does a strop do to a straight razor?

A strop realigns and polishes the edge of a straight razor, keeping it sharp and ready for use. Using a leather razor strop also helps to maintain the smoothness of your blade, ensuring a precise cut.

Paddle strops provide a firm and consistent surface for stropping, making them ideal for regular maintenance. The high-quality leather used in our strops ensures that the blade is effectively honed and polished, so you can continue to use it again, and again. 

How often should I strop a straight razor?

It is recommended to strop your straight razor before each shave to maintain its sharpness and performance. For those who prefer a more portable option, paddle strops can be used regularly to keep your razor in optimal condition. Consistent stropping with high-quality leather strops will help prevent the blade from becoming dull, so it's worth keeping on top of it. 

How many passes does a strop straight razor have?

Typically, you should only need to do 15-20 passes on each side of the blade to keep it sharp. Using a leather razor strop for these passes ensures the edge remains honed. 

Similarly, paddle strops also require the same number of passes to maintain the blade’s sharpness. Again, this will help to maintain the longevity of your blade. 

How do pastes enhance stropping?

Pastes are applied to strops to enhance the stropping process. They help to further refine the edge of your razor by providing an additional abrasive surface. There are different types of pastes available, such as chromium oxide, which is green and provides a fine polishing effect, and diamond paste, which comes in various grits and offers a more aggressive sharpening action. Using the right paste can significantly improve the sharpness and smoothness of your blade.

Should I use sharpening stones for my straight razor?

Sharpening stones are used to hone the edge of your razor and are typically suitable for experienced users. They provide a more intensive sharpening process compared to stropping. However, if you strop your razor frequently and maintain it well, using stones may not be necessary. Stones come in different grits, with higher grits providing finer sharpening. Remember, frequent stropping with high-quality strops can help maintain your razor's edge and reduce the need for honing with stones.

Is 8000 grit enough for a straight razor?

Yes, 8000 grit is generally enough for honing a straight razor. After honing with 8000 grit, a leather razor strop can further polish and refine the blade.

How many years does a straight razor last?

A straight razor can last many years and even an entire lifetime, providing you take good care of it. Regularly using a leather razor strop helps maintain the blade’s sharpness and prevents it from deteriorating. Paddle strops offer an additional option for maintaining the razor’s edge, especially for those who travel.
