Straight razors have to be kept incredibly sharp to shave effectively. That’s why you’ll often see barbers running straight razors along a leather strap, known as a strop. While the strap version is most popular, you can also find strops in paddle or loom form. They’re used essentially the same way, only the grip is different. Usually you’ll use a leather strop before a shave, while cloth on the opposite side is used after the shave to rid the blade of moisture. | Straight razors have to be kept incredibly sharp to shave effectively.
