What does a strop do to a razor's edge?

  1. Makes it dull

  2. Smooths it

  3. Thickens it

  4. Changes its shape

The correct answer is: Smooths it

A strop does not make a razor's edge dull, rather it is used to sharpen the edge and maintain its sharpness. Similarly, it does not thicken or change the shape of the edge. Instead, it works by smoothing out any micro-serrations on the edge caused by usage, resulting in a smoother and sharper edge.
