Strop Blade on Denim Jeans

Description

Stropping the blade (moving it backward) along denim can help realign and smooth the blade edge, removing microscopic burrs and effectively 'sharpening' it slightly.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Lay an old pair of denim jeans flat on a surface.
2. Hold the razor handle and push the blade cartridge UPWARDS along the denim leg (away from the normal shaving direction) for 10-20 strokes.
3. Repeat this stropping motion on the other denim leg or a different section.
4. Do this after rinsing and drying the razor, or before the next use.
