I just shaved the first time with a shave ready blade, which has a curved edge. I need to strop it for the next shave, but wasn't sure how to strop that type of edge (my other blades are straight).

Do I do an x pattern, or rolling x pattern, like I've read for honing?

With the rolling x pattern, am I actually lifting the spine off of the strop, or is it a matter of focusing the (light) pressure on the heel, mid, and then toe of the blade, as I strop?

Thanks in advance!
