So that is why my Barber has a leather strap for his straight edge razor that he gives it a few strokes every so often as I get the old fashioned shave!! I did not realize that! I thought he was keeping his blade "polished" or clean so it moved smoothly, but i guess the sharper an edge the more smoothly it cuts too. very nice. thanks for the info. [cool]
