I'm using a TM starter strop and am just trying to glide the razor along it as lightly as I can. Should there be a tiny amount of downward pressure component?
I have the TM starter strop as well, but in using it on my door knob I think I messed up my edge because it was hard for me to not have any bend or torque in the strop. Now I place the strop on my kitchen counter which is waist height and strop with it that way - I guess that's more like a paddle strop. . . but the results have been better for me. YMMV
