When I say a light touch I mean, at most, 150% of the weight of the blade, no more. So this will feel like resting the blade on the strop under its own weight and then applying a very small amount of pressure just to keep it flat on the strop during the pass. So far, this seems to be keeping my edge very nicely and I haven't noticed a drop in sharpness so far, and I use this razor every day..!
