Some of us have seen this one before. Old timey barbers used this drill to teach the delicate art of stropping. Give it a try.....
Get a 2 inch bull clip at the office supply store and attach a 2 inch by 20 inch piece of newspaper. If the paper tears, use two strips of newspaper. Three or more strips is cheating but try to do it with one strip of newspaper. Tie it to a nail, hook or a doorknob and strop a sharp razor without cutting or tearing the paper. Then strop a freshly honed razor on leather with the same delicate pressure as you did on the newspaper.
It could give you a fresh perspective on stropping.
