    Sound like"hesitation cuts". You stop at the end of the stroke & then any slight lateral movement cuts the strop or you are flipping the razor whilst still travelling in the original direction. In any case you neeed to correct your technique ASAP or your next post will be about your dull razor
    The video in Badsgister's post shows copybook technique as does this one:
