Thread: My first attempt at SR shaving

I think as you're are starting the better term during your stropping would be deliberate. The stroke does not need to be slow but you really need to take time at the transitions when flipping the razor. Make sure the razor has stopped completely, roll on the spine and then start moving the razor. As you build muscle memory and get to feel comfortable stropping it will go quicker.
I still try to be "deliberate" when I strop, even though it takes me about a quarter as much time as it did when I started.
