Hi there,

I agree with Bud although I don't know too much about stropping. I tried toe leading at first, then after some advice from Bud I tried starting the stropping motion with the whole blade on the strop. It is A LOT eaiser to strop the second way. I nicked my strop (newspaper) less and found that if you start the stroke with the whole blade on the strop, there is greater stability than with only the toe on the strop at first.

Happy Stropping!
