The Friday Special How To, Tips and Tricks, Honeless Straight Razor Refresh, using a Magnetic Silver Steel 13/16" Full Hollow Solingen Germany Vintage Straight Razor with Chrom Ox on a 30 Degree Red Latigo Leather Straight Razor Strop getting a Shave Ready Straight Razor.

YouTuber kjk asked a quick Q&A:
You have link to Howard cutting oil in every video, where are you using that? What's that good for?

Check at 1:10:00 for a quick Q&A:
As for the "Howard Cutting Board Food Grade Mineral Oil", I dry off and clean my Straight Razor after I shave. Then apply a thin coat of Food Grade Mineral Oil to the blade for storage. I have given a link to "Howard Cutting Board Food Grade Mineral Oil" below, but you may be able to pick this up in your local grocery store as well.

And YouTuber kjk asked:
Make a video about refreshing edge (not full honing) what to do when razor start tugging.

Great Idea here how I Refresh a Straight Razor when it gets tuggy.

Apply Chromium Oxide (on the inside fabric side) of your Strop:
1. 30 Laps on the inside of the Fabric with Chromium Oxide.
2. Clean off any residue on the blade. 
3. 30 Laps on the inside on the Suede Leather side.
4. Clean off any residue on the blade. 
5. 20 Laps on the outside of the Clean Fabric side.
6. 60 Laps on Smooth Leather after rubbing the Leather side to warm it up, and we're Shave Ready.

Note: You may need more or less Laps for your Straight Razor, this is a good base line for me.

Quick Tip at 7:14:25 on Strop Maintence:
Check your Strop hardware to make sure all of the screws are tight.
