I also did my first stropping before hand. The edge looked worn down on one side, and there were small flecks of strop on the blade when I finished.
I am indebted to this site for all of the great posts, advice, and techniques out there. I would not have had the confidence to try without others testimonials for sure. No doubt it will get easier, and I will get better, with more practice.
