## Questions & Answers

**Q: How often do you sharpen on the Strop. When is a razor worn enough to require replacement. (If sharpened properly of course).**
A: You SHARPEN your blade on a hone, every 6 months to a year with daily use. Honing actually removes metal from the blade, therefore frequent honing shortens the life of the blade. STROPPING straightens the already-sharp edge after you shave, so that you won't have to hone your investment too often. Shaving causes burrs to form along the edge of your blade, making it uncomfortable to use again without honing or stropping it, and since stropping is easier and less expensive to do, you want to go with that option for as long as possible (till the edge is truly worn down). Here's how I do it: 20 strokes on the linen side to warm up the edge (never buy a hanging strop without a linen side), followed by at least 40 strokes on the leather. It's a hobby as much as a daily ritual, so if it's for you then it should be relaxing. I listen to podcasts while I do this in the evening. This is with a strop treated only with my finger oils....some treat theirs with chromium oxide, but I don't believe in using this stuff daily (it's an actual abrasive, meaning it removes blade material). If you are interested in making your investment outlive yourself, I recommend treating a rigid (paddle-style) balsa wood strop (which can be purchased much cheaper than any leather strip, often pre-treated) with the green crox, and using it every week or two, or when your regular stripping routine loses its effect.

    Dull and already opened items.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019*

Blade was dull, I mean dull. Would not shave even after a healthy amount of stropping. The wooden box was broken. Soap seal was already broken and spilling in the box. I am not sure I could cut a tomato with this blade. Quality control should be a little better.I stropped the blade a good 100 laps and still it does not pass the hair test on forearm or single hair. This is not my first straight razor, I bought this to teach my son the art.I would love to hear from the manufacturer regarding my experience with this blade.

    Not a good gift item
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020*

I understand that when you buy a product you’re buying what’s in the box.  However the box this razor cane in was a sign for what was inside.  The wooden box was warped, as wood does but if handled And milled  correctly it can be avoid.  This box has more wood putty in it then wood.  Anyway on to the razor.  Maybe I expect too much but there are a lot of noticeable scratches that were not buffed out.  Mostly on the blade.  Secondly and more importantly every time I close the blade it catches on one side of the handle.  I have to take care when closing the blade so I don’t cause a chip in the blade or dull it before it’s time.  I haven’t even shaved with it yet.
