Experiment with the amount of "Tautness" to get the best edge

After almost three years I am finally getting this part and my razor are finally lasting longer. From a heavy handed slow learner. Har!!

My lack of expertise is what prompted question. I would have destroyed so many razors trying to do the spine lift.

Spine lift would be journey level stropping but why take the chance when tautness is so much easier to accomplish. I found the hard way that less tautness does less damage than too much tautness. I have damage razors and strops getting to this point. Har! Love it.
