Thanked: 2My stropping technique sucks!
I recently purchased a Boker Edelweiss from SRD and it shaved great until I stropped it about 3 or 4 times. It now catches the wiskers, drags, and cuts when I shave. I hate to send it out for a honing when I have only had it for 2 weeks! By using some CrOx on the back side of the fabric I have been able to make some minor improvements but not enough that I want to complete a shave with it. This morning I switched over to my Edwin Jagger DE razor, popped in a Feather blade and was in shaving nirvana wondering why I torture myself with attempting to learn the SE!
I have a leather strop (purchased from SRD) and have watched every video I could find (the reasonable ones that is) on YouTube. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong though I know it is buried somewhere in my stropping technique. I am prepping the same way I did for those first few (very few) wonderful shaves. I am using the same cream and everything. I realize most on the forum have gone through similar experiences so maybe someone will hit right button with my problem.
