Thread: Third Shave Frustration

Besides the great advice that you already got, it may be helpful to keep the strop tight and not apply to much pressure on the razor. Keep the razor flat too. Another thing to keep in mind while stropping is to do a proper razor flip. The razor should be flipped on the spine and never on the edge. This is probably the most serious mistake anyone can make while stropping. Check this out, it is a great thread:

What Alraz said.
If you lift the razor off the strop each pass, chances are that you've rolled your edge. Its a method that works fine but less margin for error.
