Leather Sharpening Strop

The Tommy Gun's Leather Sharpening Strop is for those wanting to keep their straight razor in perfect condition. This two-sided strop is a must for the man that takes his straight razor seriously and wants a close and comfortable shave every time.

Who Is It For?

• Those who use straight razors

What Does It Do?

• Keeps the razor in perfect condition

How Do You Use It?

• Hang your strop on a hook and pull it towards you, with the leather side up. Now lay the fully opened razor flat
• Hang your strop on a hook and pull it towards you, with the leather side up, lay the fully opened razor flat and you should hold the razor at the part between the blade and the handle, just using your fingertips
• The blade must be laid flat on the strop, so that the cutting edge and the back both make contact. When using the strop, always move the razor towards the back of the blade, NOT towards the cutting edge, or else you will cut the strop to pieces
• Pull the blade gently towards you. The blade should stand at approx. 30-40 degrees to the strop. Do not use too much pressure or else the blade will bend, which will alter the sharpening angle. When you reach the end of the belt, roll the blade over the back of the razor and push it back towards the hook
• Remember to keep the blade flat on the strop. This sharpens the other side of the blade. Repeat this 4-5 times, and your razor should be ready for work again
