No, there's no actual reason why I couldn't go slow on a lighter draw but I just seem to go faster because it wil let me.

If your strop isn't something pristine, you can try this, to reduce the draw. Yes...I've done this to a few strops, with no ill affects.
Dampen, not saturate, a clean rag with rubbing alcohol, and lightly wipe your strop, allow to dry between wipes till you find your desired draw.
I did this to a couple that I over hydrated, and on a new, red Latigo I'd purchased from Imperial shave.
May not be the proper thing to do, but it worked for me, and I can use the strops, now.
