Thread: Do you find some razors harder to strop than others?

One thing that I discovered just yesterday is that I do better rolling the razor if I have the tang resting between the joints of my knuckles. I used to let the tang fall where the first joint of my forefinger folds.

Yesterday for some unknown but fortuitous reason I ended up laying the tang in between the first and second joint and found it much easier to roll without turning the wrist. I just went in and tried it again the old way and the new way on three different sized tangs and with the 'new' way I was clicking on 8. YMMV.

First photo shows the old way and the second the new improved.
