Thread: First SR

If and when you get your strop, practice with index finger first. Run it up and down the strop to learn how it feels. Watch when you pull on the strop with some tension, see how the strop reacts. Then hold it loosely somewhat, and again see how it feels. You don't want to hold your strop too tight or too loose. Another thing you can do is make a newspaper strop and practice on that a few times.. Look to see if you cut the newspaper again. Newspaper is cheaper than replacing your strop in case you cut or nick it a lot. The flip and muscle memory will all come time and with practice.
Erinie's advice is good too.
