I’ve never even seen one in person. You’re more qualified than me.

Did you by the osbourne / Tandy one or a clone some guy sharpening/ polishing on this video

 

Wow, I instantly thought of the cloth wheel grabbing that blade out of the skiver and slinging it across the room.  Scary method.

They make safety blade holders that you could use to more firmly grip it.  I have just recently started using my safety skiver again, and I do just drag mine across the strop board in the holder.  Would like to find better quality, so will try the link provided for that.  Thanks!

I have stropped the tiny blades for the strap cutter. Just get some miniture pliers and drag the blades backwards across your strop.

Makes a lot of difference.

Nice! I did ten strokes on each side on my strop and it cuts like a new blade! Thanks for the money saving tip! About how many times do you think I could do this with each blade?

Quite a while I suppose. As long as you keep doing it, it should last.
