    Remember that the strop is 'taunt' NOT 'TIGHT' I feel that the slight bit of 'give' is what's providing a little bit of an angle to work the edge.

    Also if the blade hasn't been professionally honed OR Honed by an experienced honer, then you really aren't getting the shave you should.

    There are lots of variables especially when starting out and by eliminating as many as possible will help you!

    Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.
