Stop stripes, flaps -- troubleshooting help please
Attachment 265787
Hello,
For a while now I've noted that I damaged the lower right corner of my Walkin' Horse strop. (IOW, the corner on the right, closest to the rings that I hold.) I have trimmed off the flaps or glued them down, when able. I have lightly sanded it, but have never really gotten that area to be smooth.
I have also noticed the parallel stripes you can also see on this image, and they are fairly close to the other damaged area.
I pay pretty close attention, I thought, to keeping a light touch on the razor, keeping the spine against the leather, keeping the strop taut, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks

Help with strop stripes, flaps
Attachment 265796
I mistakenly started this thread under "strops" so restarting it here.
I am trying to troubleshoot my stropping technique. For a while now I've noticed that I am cutting up the strop on the corner nearest my hand on the right side of the strop Utopion thinks the cutting damage is from the stabilizer.
I am wondering if the parallel stripes are from the decorative notches on the spine of my Bismarck.
So -- to tie these together -- am I just applying too much pressure?
