Thanked: 0Question on Angle of blade when stropping
Hi all. I just started straight razor shaving about 6 weeks ago and finally thought I was getting at least a half way decent shave. I have read that the blade should be totally flat when you strop. Today I went for a "professional" shave and lesson. When I showed how I stropped, I was told I kept the blade too flat and was advised to angle the blade a little toward the edge on the strop. Does this make sense. It confused me totally. As an aside the shave was totally amazing and nothing I have experienced on my own. The edge felt like butter. Apparently I have been either been using way too much pressure or my blade are dull. Either way, now I seem totally hopeless Lol. Any advise appreciated.
