Yea, that is where having a mentor watching what you are doing comes in so handy. Some things are just hard to spot unless there is another person watching. Hope it keeps working for you.

Glad you were able to the problem. Consider that people have used all kinds of leather for hanging strops to successfully strop a razor with.

Then short of being able to get to a meet for in person help, either of which are the best way to learn, then try Hirlau's advice.

As has been said without seeing the razors and watching you...

No, I do not think your expectations are too high. I would see if I could get a member near you to mentor you in person and/or attend one of the meets.
