I have a Fromm Illinois Strop with a clean cloth side and a flat leather side. How much should I strop between uses? I really don't seem to notice much of a difference when I strop, and my razors seem to be pulling. This is contrary to a lot of what people have been saying about stropping. Maybe I am doing it wrong? I feel like I got it down, but maybe there is something I am missing. How much pressure? Do you need to do X strokes if it is less than 3 inches, or can you just kind of pull it towards you when you come down and away from you when you go up? How many laps should be sufficient? Finally, how much pulling should there actually be? Or rather, how smooth should a shave be? Because even after getting my razor professionally honed (Hollow Ground Cattaraugus Green Lizard), it was still pulling slightly and rather loud. Is that just a part of shaving or is mine not sharp enough? What is a good test to see if it is sharp enough? Thank you all very much
