I've been doing a review of my stropping technique over the past couple of days (I tend to critically review most aspects of my life every month or so - don't ask, I think it must stem from my childhood ).

The main issue cropping up for me is the razor flip at the end of each stroke. The grip I have on the razor means that the flip is basically done by rolling the shaft with my fingers (while keeping the spine on the strop, of course). My wrist doesn't rotate at all. This slows things down for me at the end of each stroke - not really a problem, I guess, except my finger speed doesn't match my arm speed and therefore my stropping resembles, for lack of a better analogy, a "limp".

How do other people flip their razors?
