Question: 1 / 400

Which direction is used in razor stropping?

The same as that used in honing

The reverse of that used in honing

Stropping is the process of sharpening and refining the blade's edge by running it across a strip of leather or similar material. This motion, known as stropping, should be in the opposite direction of honing. Honing is the process of removing small imperfections and maintaining the blade's sharpness through grinding and polishing. Therefore, using the reverse direction in stropping allows for the edge to be smoothed and polished without undoing the work done during honing. The other options are incorrect because they either suggest the same direction as honing (option A) or a completely unrelated motion that would not effectively sharpen the blade (options C and D).
