This is my answer on another thread for stroping

If you keep the pressure on the spine, the pressure transfered to the edge is very light. (the larger the width of the blade, the lower the pressure transfered on the edge)* So the effort needed is to keep the spine and the strop surface allways in contact for all the number of strokes without interruption

I am not a fun of extra-ultra-light pressure on strop
Allways keep the pressure on the spine

I use the pressure needed to keep the spine constantly in contact with leather and to feel the drag

I believe that it is better a little more pressure than lighter from the ideal.
I strop my razors 31 years now X aprox. 300 days per year = 9300 stroping sessions X 40 = 372,000 stroping pases X 2 = 744,000 stroping motions
oh my god

* this is not correct for the pre 1800 razors because the tag is in the center of the blade
This applies also to honing?
