Oil the strop?

The large, flat tracks of land are easy to shave. Navigating the trickier areas, particularly those presenting decreasing radius curves, takes a while to master. You'll get there- it's all a matter of feel.

Larry's recommendation was to use the footoil he provided to oil/condition the strop before first use. I almost didn't recognize you with the new avatar.

Thanks for encouragement. I know that area of my neck took time with a DE and is also sensitive to errors. It'll come with time.
