Thread: Stropping Problems

stainer,

Don't stop your stroke on the strop to flip the razor and change direction. Keep the razor moving and the spine in contact with the leather, roll the edge up, change direction, and as tdhe edge is coming down you are already on the return stroke - in the edge trailing direction. It's the stop, flip, that's getting you because your hand is already changing direction as the blade, edge down, is momentarily stopped on the strop.

good luck, good shaving,
