OK, so ive only had one cut (had a small bump i wasnt careful enough with) the few times ive shaved, and im comfortable with the razor and handling. im a knife guy, what can i say...

but the thing that KILLS me is i cant get used to stropping to save my life. currently im NOT using a hanging strop, but one thats meant to be on a board that the gentleman i got the razor from sent along. i can do "fine" if i lift and turn the blade (keep in mind im either doing this on my lap or the coffee table. and yes, i know this is less than ideal.) and im not rolling the edge at the ends, but i know its wrong.

problem with this is, im afraid to buy an actual hanging strop because ive sunk so much into this already and im not sure ill even be able to strop properly if i get one. this is the one thing that is putting me off a SR, and has me leaning towards a Safety.

ive watched videos on how to spine roll, read stuff but it just doesnt feel natural. not to mention i remember seeing barbers strop when i was growing up and saw them do the same thing i do (probably rolling the edge tho) but much faster.

tips? help? etc?

save me from myself!
