Hi, i have a few stropping questions and would appreciate the advise.
This first question might be stupid. I have a 2inch strop and i dont understand the x-stroke.
I take the blade from bottom left of the strop to the top right of the strop, flip it, then come back from the top right of the strop to the bottom left of the strop.
So i am going up and down on the same diagonal line.
Is that ok?
Also my first strop was a gift, its a Dovo, really soft and more of a suede than a solid leather.
I have just bought a new one which is black and more like a leather trouser belt material, hard n shiny.
Which one should i be using..
Thanks..
