Aaron is requested a query concerning the deserves of palm stropping a double edge razor blade
George Dyson, from the UK, asks:
“When I first started shaving in the mid 60s I was advised to ‘strop’ the double edged razor blades on the palm of my hand, this was supposed to smooth the microscopic faults on the blade which caused the nicking of the skin. Is this a fallacy? I have used modern razors for many years but am going back to double edged blades. Thanks George.”
Palm stropping can easy out the roughness of a new blades
AARON SAYS
“Mr. Dyson,
I don’t consider this to be a fallacy in any respect. There are many of us on the market who palm strop their blades to easy out the roughness of a new blades and take away the micro-burrs from manufacturing. I actually have finished it upon event when one of my regular blades feels rougher than regular out of the bundle. Where I consider the falsehood is available in is when people begin palm stropping to increase blade life. However, that’s one other matter all collectively! Welcome again to double edged shaving!
Keep it easy,
Aaron“
