when you next meet with X take your strop and perhaps he will help you with technique... maybe even the first shave you never know unless you ask

I rolled the edge on my first straight.....sounds like that may have been what happened to you. Don't give up - go back and see X again, I'm sure he'll get you straightened out in no time!

Hold the strop taut and don't press down on it with the razor. If it's suddenly not catching hairs, then you may have rolled the edge as the guys say. It may be that your hair is too different.

It sounds like you've got it working though, is that right? I'm around tomorrow. Call me if you still need help.
