alright so i got in my amplex diamond abrasive compounds... 1 micron an 1/2 micron

pasted both sides of my strop

stropped, checked the edge... it popped a hair pretty easily.... so i tried to shave and the stinker wont do it. pulls at the hairs, won't cut for beans. so i check another hair.... doesnt really wanna pop too easily anymore. storp a bit, it pops alright. tried to shave. no luck. so what do you think i'm doing wrong? i know there are a number of things i'm sure. let me know what you think. i maybe just need some stropping practice. thanks in advance
