I'm having issues stropping a near wedge razor as well. I'm not sure if the edge is touching the strop enough. The blade is huge and has a lot of friction against the strop. So I'm not sure if I should apply more pressure, or give more slack when pulling the strop. Any advice here? This razor came newly honed, but after I used a few times, its completely dull now. I'm pretty sure its the way I'm stropping.
