I really had to use some discipline but i gave my face a break today.

But I did give stropping a go. I nicked my strop and it didn't seem like it went all that well but it shaved a small part on my fore arm proving to be sharp.

I struggled to get the right flipping motion of the blade, and there were a couple of time that there were some high pitched sounds that cant be right.

I am afraid of going to slow, to hard, applying pressure to the blade and not the spine and to keep my wrist steady.

Tomorrow I will see if there were any ill effects on my 2nd go at it.
