How is a razor can be sharpened while rubbing against a leather belt? My grandfather was 80 years and it is with a razor to shave the beard. He has been using the razor because he had a beard to shave, meaning that it uses very long time. He uses his very old leather belt to sharpen the razor by rubbing against the strip. It has always been a mystery to me how a soft surface may have no effect on the metal object.
It is not known to sharpen - it is called sharpen the blade. The leather is realining EGDE the blade to maintain its advantage. Once he is deaf, so it should be sharpened by stone or grinder
This is not really sharp, but rather standing burrs on the edge of the bladder using bend or on a whetstone. The kind of leather polishes.
maybe the belt is Cording blade bits (friction plates) which makes carrying more pointed or sharper.
If the razor is sharp at Sharpness is substancr hard course, but subtlety can be assured that somewhere there would be too sharp, the sharpness would be somewhere less and somewhere that some saw as the thin edge would apear. Naturally, this can be harmful to the delicate skin of the human being. Thus, the rubber bwinf resistant leather and smooth, razor sharp get slowly and gently by friction and that too at the level of tolerance of the skin.
it is not sharpening, honing his blade called burr to create a new strong
