Razor Blade Cleaner and Honing Strop

Razor Blade Cleaner and Honing Strop is designed to extend the life of those expensive men's and ladies multi-blade razors. The idea is to clean between the blades before honing the razor. This idea will not only aid in extending the razors serviceable life, but will make shaving more comfortable because the razor has been cleaned and honed.
