Very interesting.

the 2nd blade under examination doesnt say if it was carbon steel which does rust faster than stainless..hmmm.... :ugeek:
The 2nd page states what stropping the blade does..but I doubt it actually brings the blade back as it was in its original package...I find palm stropping reduces the harshness of the blade..but when compared to a new blade it feels different in on my coarse hair.

Interesting article though

The article doesn't suggest it will bring it back to the original edge, what it says is that it will ameliorate the edge so it's less deformed.

The fact that the bottoms of slight nicks are made as sharp as the edge and that the nicks are actually reduced in size proves that stropping has at least a small abrasive action and therefore sharpening effect. This does not mean, however, that prolonged stropping will put an edge on a really dull (Continued on page 139) razor. Only honing will do that for a blade.
