I tried my first shave yesterday. My Wapi arrived from Lynn super sharp. Razor was pulling alot. I took it the strop for at least 30 strokes. I took my time keeping the strop taught, using light slow passes, and rolling the blade over on the spine using X pattern. Maybe my technique needs work shaving, stropping or both. Not sure. I am using an ebay strop. It is real leather but not high quality. Could that be my problem too? I am not discouraged. I am ready to take another crack at it. The blade stick to my thumb so it feels keen. Could I have folded the edge and not be able to see it? Should I get a decent strop like a TM? Please help.
