Thread: Please help me diagnose this honing problem.

OK my 5 cts:

1st: do you use the same angle on both sides of your face?
2nd: you may have rolled the edge inadvertently while stropping one way. It has happened to me that when stropping I tended to lift the spine going one way while moving the razor away from my body and not doing it on the way back towards me.
3rd: do you keep the strop taut all the way and both ways? You may slacken it a bit when moving the razor away from you.
4th are you sure you do not apply a lot of pressure on the blade at the end of a stroke on the leather
5th are you sure you do not slam the razor onto the leather when flipping it over?
