So I've learned from other threads that stropping a blade might stop skin irritation or ingrowns. Are there any stropping machines or devices I can buy??

Are you trying to strop a straight razor or DE blade? If you're using a straight, stropping is pretty much a required practice. You don't have to strop a DE blade, since they are usually tossed after 3-5 shaves. However, there are a lot of folks around here that strop their DE blades. Originally Posted by jpadilla88

Of course it's dark, it's a suicide note.

I was talking about DE blades, I noticed some people posted that they did that and it helped reduce their ingrown hair that's why. I saw a video on youtube with some stropping device. I was curious to know if there was a store that sold any... Originally Posted by jkh

I think stropping modern DE blades is totally pointless.
