Since 1896, the famous Böker from Solingen has been producing open razors. In 170 artisanal production steps, a new open razor of impeccable quality is created. And razor-sharp.
Product information
The cowhide leather strop is the finishing touch for getting the straight razor razor-sharp again. The strop can be used as an alternative to the shaving strap. The strap can be tightened firmly by means of the tension mechanism.
The strop is ideal for maintaining open razors on both sides. Maintenance can be performed on the two different sides of the strop with different sharpening pastes. Optionally use Red or Green stropping paste for optimal sharpening of the razor. Apply a little of this stropping paste to the red side of the strop. The leather side without paste is intended for stropping.
Usage
- Lay the strop flat on a table
- Optionally tighten the strop.
- Optionally rub a little stropping paste into the leather of the strop
- Hold the razor at the shoulder (the hinge part) of the blade
- Press the razor lightly against the strap
- Pull the razor back and forth over the strop with a steady motion
- Tilt the razor over the back of the blade in the other direction
