Dom4UinVA -> ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 7:04:08 PM)

I am interested in how and why STROPPING is done, what makes it pleasing, etc.


THANKS

The only stropping definitions I know  are that it is a part of knife sharpening.
It is also has to do with letter sequences.



topcat -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 7:13:49 PM)

M. D4U-
 
to the best of my knowledge,'Stropping' is just a good ass- walloping, with a 'strop' -a heavy broad leather strap of the sort used for polishing a razors edge.
 
Stay warm,

Stropping is the final sharpening stage for items such as straight edge razors.  One sharpens a knife or razor with an abrasive.  Under a microscope though the edge generally curves away from the sharpening stone, leaving a curl.  Stropping is using, usually a jeweler's rouge (red iron oxide) and pulling the knife or razor backwards to remove this curl.  Done properly the knife or razor can be lightly scraped forward against the hair of the arm, and it should act as a razor does, removing the hair cleanly but not cutting.

Simply find a smooth piece of leather, or even a flat leather belt and some jewelers rouge.  Barbers have the strop (leather strip with rouge) often attached to the wall, so they can pull it taunt, and then strop the razor a few times away from the sharp edge, essentially polishing the very edge and making it razor sharp.

The context of my inquiry is not about knife sharperning!!!  Rather, it has to do, of course, with a BDSM practice related to impact play with a knife, or something like that!!!??


Thanks again



SimplyMichael -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 7:37:31 PM)

Impact play with a knife is called stabbing...two people above correctly got the two different meanings that I know of.

OMG you are too funny, thank you for the laugh I really needed that!!  [:D]



LuckySub1977 -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 8:05:39 PM)

the only time i have heard of this is from my maternal unit, she tells how her grandmommy, my great-grandmommy used to "strop" her when she would misbehave, meaning spank or beat her with the aforementioned razor strop...  and the result is akin to a severe belting...  but that's third hand info, don't take my word for it

It's used the same way a belt is used, except with a strop. Maybe it's a southern thing, but stropping is very popular amongst the parent of brats where I come from in Texas. As for what makes it pleasing, that's completely subjective. For many it 'won't' be pleasing, for masochists and others, they would enjoy it for the same sorts of reasons they would enjoy getting beat with a leather belt.

Dear Dom4UinVA, Ladies and Gentlemen;
 
I have to agree to what has been posted, with the exception of SimpleMichael's stabbing comment.
 
The razor strap is very stout and has it's own 'voice' if you will when using it as a paddle and or strap.
 
Those who enjoy the "Victorian" flavor of D/s and or M/s; will use things like the strop as much as they will use a straight edge razor, not a safety razor which most are accustom to. 
 
Because it was a common household item, which hung in the bath chambers and where men would be shaved by their man servant and or butler; for disciplinary reasons the strap was handy, just as handy for a Victorian woman to discipline with the sole of her shoe and or her hairbrush.
 
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs



LuckyAlbatross -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 8:57:07 PM)

Odd- never had it used on me and I've never seen anyone use it, but I knew exactly what it was.  No idea how that tidbit of info got into my brain.

I can get into belting someone, but unless someone handed me a strop and a heavy masochist, I probably wouldn't ever try it myself.



Archer -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/15/2007 9:38:24 PM)

Yep the folks that mentioned it as a spanking with a razor strop have it right. Think of a belt spanking and then extrapolate to something thcker and wider, but just as supple.



SimplyMichael -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 8:35:48 AM)

Ladyhugs,

At least when I call you on your bullshit, I get it right.  Please reread my post again and if you can't see your mistake, find an adult who can.  I am curious if the self appointed "miss bdsm manners" will have the class or not to appologize this time.



topcat -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 12:44:02 PM)

M. Micheal-
 
I think she was disregarding your answer as a joke (which I took it for). I didn't see it as a slight to you, myself.
 
Stay warm,
Lawrence



mstrjx -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 5:18:27 PM)

I believe I have one of those.

Aside from the handle area, it's 13" in length, 2 1/2" in width.

VERY hard leather.  When you swing it, it will flex from the speed used, but on it's own, if it could it would stand up straight.

In the paddle family, but longer with that slight flexibility.  Also, not as thick as a paddle.

Jeff



topcat -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 5:25:13 PM)

M. Jeff-
 
Yep- sounds like it. usually has an eye on one end, a handle on the other, and one side leather, one side cloth.
 
impact wise, somewhere between a strap and a paddle.
 
Stay warm,
Lawrence



mp072004 -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 5:46:41 PM)

Actually, you can do impact play with a knife (and not stab!). You turn the blade so you hit the bottom with the flat of it. It's a neat way to shake up a knifeplay scene, but I don't regard it as useful as an impact technique in its own right. You can also hit with the hilt, if it's long enough. But I've never known it to be called stropping.

Kinkypupper -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 6:02:51 PM)

Most fun...
Its using a razor Strop on a nice butt.

( a piece of semi flexable used leather about 3 inches wind and 24 ish inches long)



LadyHugs -> RE: ~~~ stropping ?!?!?! (2/16/2007 8:49:10 PM)

SimplyMichael aka CrappyDom;

The only apology I'll make is to the readers of the thread, for having to witness again another one of your famous and expected personal hatred episodes directed towards me.

Lady Hugs
