How to use a leather strop
Strops are frequently used with honing compounds, the extremely fine abrasives that give a mirror polish to an edge. If you choose to use a compound, start by applying it to the surface of the strop. A little compound goes a long way, so there's no need to cake it on.
Hold the bevel against the surface of the strop with light pressure and move the blade away from the cutting edge. Turn the blade over and do the same on the other side. The process is the same on any stropping surface, with or without a honing compound.
Never move the blade toward the cutting edge as it will cut into the strop, resulting in dulling of the edge and damage to the strop. A few strokes is usually sufficient. A strop is best used before you even think your edge is dull. Used consistently, it is a key step in maintaining a razor sharp edge.
