You might try putting the strop along the edge of a counter or table and strop very carefully and see if you can detect any difference,, that will eliminate many variables in your technique...

I can tell you that for me, I do hear a difference on leather, but I don't on Linen..
For fear of this becoming a bun fight I am tempted to PM you, but the sound was slightly abrasivey (a new word I just made up) in one direction, so maybe 10pups was on to something, and as I think I said it wasn't by the end. Any ideas? And I think I may have also mentioned the draw seemed.to get lighter.
