Thread: Just a little pressure, please?

Gotta chime in. Read the whole thread and from what I can tell it comes down to the fact that muscle memory needs to be educated. I am probably the original heavy ham handed person around. After doing a lot of reading I realized that a bench strop was the answer since pressure applied could be gauged immediately on a non-resistant surface. Not having a bathroom where I could house a bench strop I devised what I call a hanging bench strop as shown below. I have a whisper of a stroke now with almost non existence pressure. I have one un-adjusted strop and find that I retain the whisper pressure on that one also.

On the scale of a razor bevel the changes would surely be so miniscule that it would be next to impossible to guage by hand particularly if there were a rotation of multiple razors in question which would necessarily require varying, varying pressures. [Yes varying, varying is intentional].
