Stropping a warped razor?

You strop it as any other razor, it doesn't matter.
A strop isn't flat and hard like a hone, so the leather will hit the edge all along the edge.

Thanks Blix.

X pattern should do the trick.

Yup, that is what the x-stroke is for, specifically .

And this is just one of the reasons why the X stroke is cool.

Kids, say no to three inch strops.

Hey, hey, hey, nothing wrong with both-3 inch strop and x-stroke, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Yes, that is true. The problem is that too many people don't realise it when their strop is 3" wide. This thread is kind of case in point.

That is true.

I have out in my short time with straights there rarely is one way of doing things. One needs to have many tools (actual and figurative) to be able to shave

On second look the strop may have a crown, which is ok. You just don't want the middle to be lower.
