    When I first read Obie's stropping based on old barber's habits some months ago I decided to give it a trial run. I already had a good stropping technique down and was curious to see another method in action. Guess which method is now used by this old dog learning new tricks. The difference is almost imperceptible with the edge (bad pun, I know) going to Obie's method. [my 2 cents]

    I think that the wider strops do not stay flat and do not give such contact as 2 -2 1/2 widht.
