Hey! I’m new here. Also very new to the hobby. I’ve bought a strop and a flexcut 1.75 in knife. I’m having a ton of trouble keeping it sharp and I think it’s a stropping issue. How much compound should be applied to a new strop? I’ve used a hairdryer which helped spread it evenly but is the leather supposed to soak up a ton of it at first?
Side question, are there any video resources on actual cut techniques. I see a ton of videos on figure tutorials but I can’t seem to find any on how the cuts should be made.
I don’t want to end up discouraged beyond the point of no return.
Thanks in advance!! :-)
