    Enough tension to hold it steady.

    Call me crazy, but I strop on a flat surface.

    After getting the Lipshaw from Tom, I have begun not letting there be any real slack in my other daily strops.
    I don't hold it rigid taught, but without any real slack.
    Seeing how the Lipshaw produced a butter soft shave, now all my strops are producing the same affect

    These Lipshaw strops have fascinated me for quite awhile, can one of you Lipshaw owners please make a vid of this strop in use?

    Thanks
