@ AFDavis11: Excellent in depth explanation of stropping principles.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Thanked: 2Curled strop
Don't know how it hppened but my strop seems to have curled along the sides so that if I place the blade on it the middle of the blade is not touching. Is this fixable? Thanks for the tips on stropping too the video above drastically improved my technique.

Thanked: 2Get a cylindrical glass, bottle or mug and run it back and forth while holding tension on your strop.
This should help out. If it doesn't your strop may be a little dry and need some conditioning and repeating of the bottle rub-down. HTH
