    I do an x stroke when I strop regardless of the width of the strop. Not the 'right' way, not the wrong way, just my way.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I have a problem "over torquing" the edge return stroke if going "square" and not X-ing. The spine doesn't lose contact but it sounds different, and sounds diff-is diff. X fixes that.
