If i may recommend to the op, listen when you strop, if the sound changes between back and forth or while in motion you are not doing something right

It's actually not at all uncommon for razors to make different sounds coming and going. While I like to blame the doppler effect, all sorts of things including blade geometry, strop 'grain', or, yes, technique could be causing that.

So if it sounds different, by all means pay extra attention to your technique, but also be aware that it could be caused by something else.
