    Having been the original heavy handed stropper I'd venture to say that on tape you stropping looks good but I's also say lighten up on pressure. I look at stropping two ways. Light as a feather, meaning the weight of the razor only. The other way is imaging a plane landing and taking off as I do my laps so that the razor is flipped on it spine but the edge doesn't touch the leather for an inch or two, like in taking off and landing a plane. To cure my heavy handedness I've gone to bench strops. That helps me with the pressure factor.
