I followed up both your advices, pasted strop and lapping film. Tried DOVO black paste this morning and it made all the difference! Far less tug, especially on the tricky spot on the left side of my chin.
The lapping film (4K, 6K, 12K) is up next shave, I wonder how well that will do.

This is Geometrically Impossible
I would argue that. In my experience, the edge produced that way was sharper, and the increased honing speed on the edge should make said edge thinner, in theory. How would you explain the opposite?
