Why Use a Böker Leather Strop

Using a Böker leather strop before every shave helps realign the razor edge without removing metal. Unlike sharpening stones, a straight razor strop maintains blade geometry while improving smoothness, glide, and shaving comfort. Regular stropping also extends the life of your blade and reduces the need for frequent stone sharpening.

The extra wide surface allows the entire blade edge to rest flat on the leather, making it easier to achieve precise results. Proper use ensures safety by minimizing the risk of nicks or cuts during stropping. Occasional leather conditioning keeps the strop supple and long-lasting.

How to Use This Straight Razor Strop

• Hang the straight razor strop at waist height with light tension.
• Move the razor spine-first, never edge-first.
• Apply minimal pressure to protect the blade.
• Perform 20–40 smooth passes before shaving.
• Keep the leather clean and condition occasionally with a leather conditioner.
• Use caution to avoid cuts or injuries.
