Some leathers in a linen or return system with a fine abrasive used to maintain an edge before final polishing with the leather side. a face value of thick hair may require multiple stroppings a shave, but a blade is usually honed only two or three times a year. occasional sharpening by a professional may be necessary to restore a badly worn or damaged edge.
