Arthur nodded, stropping a razor the while. He appeared to be bearing the revelations with complete fortitude. Yet, only a few weeks before, a customer's comment on this same whiteness had stirred him to his depths. 'And this morning what do you think? Why, he meets me as bold as you please, and gives me a cake of toilet soap. Like his impudence! She paused, hopefully.
Think of the jest of a large reward, too, and of some sane man swinging in the wind for a deed he never did, and all through a madman's cunning! I thought often of this, but I gave it up at last. Oh! the pleasure of stropping the razor day after day, feeling the sharp edge, and thinking of the gash one stroke of its thin, bright edge would make!
I shall refer to this when we come to "texture" and "finish." The Proper Bevel Position of Tools on Oilstone Good and Bad Edge Stropping Paste and Leather Careless Sharpening Rubbing Out the Inside Stropping Fine Tools Importance of Sharp Tools. Having given this brief description of the tools and materials used by carvers, we shall suppose a piece of work is about to be started.
I wonder, while stropping mine, if any man still lives who uses a moustache cup? Any man who knows that, sooner or later, he must go to another afternoon tea cannot but rejoice at the recent invention of an oval, platter-like saucer, large enough to hold with ease a cup, a lettuce or other sandwich, and a dainty trifle of pastry.
But the big red detective could see the vile thing 50 and even 100 yards away, and once seen well, one enemy the less. Briskly stropping his beak on the branch of the tree on which he rested, and setting his breast plumage in order, much as one might shake a crumb from his waistcoat, the eagle adjusted his searchlights and sat motionless.
I suppose a fellow proposing to cut his throat would experience a sort of relief while occupied in stropping his razor carefully. And Anthony was extremely careful in preparing for himself and for the luckless Flora, an impossible existence. He went about it with no more tremors than if he had been stuffed with rags or made of iron instead of flesh and blood.
He entered the clean but scantily furnished shop, and threw himself into one of the nearest chairs, hardly noting that there were no other customers, and that a single assistant, stropping a razor behind a glass door, was the only occupant.
Today, the cold water gave a healthy glow to his face, which, after much stropping of his razor, he shaved of a week's growth of beard, tawny as his thick, crisp hair where the sun had not yet bleached it. This, he soaked thoroughly, in lieu of brushing, before using a crippled piece of comb. The dividing line between washed and unwashed was one inch above his neckband and two above his wrists.
At the time it had seemed to him that the Earl's remark that the latter needed polishing and the former stropping betrayed only a kindly consideration for his guest's well-being. Now, it had the aspect of being part of a carefully-constructed plot. On the other hand here philosophy came to his rescue if anybody did mean to start anything, his sword and armour might just as well not be there.
"Just heft it once." "Light, ain't it," said Peterson, taking it in his hand. "You bet it's light. And look here" he reached for it and drew it back and forth over the palm of his hand "that's the only stropping I ever give it." "Don't you have to hone it?" "No, sir; it's never been touched to a stone or leather. You just get up and try it once.
