Thread: Do I angle my balde on a strop/hone

Hi,
Tomorrow I'll recieve my first ever strop, Miller's 3" Hierloom, a week or so later my new razor (pre sharpened by Lynn).
I've read much on this site and other sites about stropping and honing, yet one thing seems to be contradicted: The angle of stropping and honing.
Now I now how flat a blade needs to be on a hone and strop, but some say that to alight the microscopic teeth on the blade, it needs honing and stropping at an angel, not just up and down at a level angle but in say, a figure of eight pattern, if you know what I mean.
Can anyone please help?
Much thanks!!!
P.S. I have a 4k/8k norton hone which will cover the width of my blade.
