    You're a good man. You'll do well with wet shaving.

    You want to learn and seem willing to take the time to do things right.

    Modular or hanging strop you'll get used to either.. I don't know what rolling the edge is because I've never done it.

    I really wouldn't send your razor out until it can't be stropped back to acceptable shape. Waste of time and money sending it otherwise.

    Have you got a chromium oxide Strop? Touch up hone?

    Practice without fear. Fear for me led to mistakes and cut strops.

    Also don't buy a super expensive Strop for your first one or if you did buy a cheap one and cheap blade and get your strop on.

    Your title question is round tip or not?
    Which looks better to your eyes?
