- - - I have a Norton combo 4000/8000 out of the box. Some guys swear by simple straight-forward back and forth and others by small circular motions. The unfortunate thing, and annoying, is that the whole subject is an art and nobody can give definite, provable reasons why their method works. Consequently, it is mostly a trial and error type of thing ie. whatever works for you. To me, this is not very satisfactory and in fact is very frustrating, enough to give it up and return to safety razors.
- - - After viewing the video by the dude in Missouri, I have tried the small circular motions which, if they work, then a pattern of small circular scratches on the blade seems to be the correct thing to work toward. After 2 attempts, starting with the 4k and finishing with the 8K it still does not seem to be cutting satisfactorily, but I shall try several more times before giving up. For the time being, and to limit the variables, I will forget about "stropping".
