Thread: Newbie looking for Strop advice

I just bought the $20 strop from kenrup's site and I was wondering what I would need to do to make it ready to strop a blade? I don't even have my razor yet (working with kenrup at the moment), but I would like to know before I get it so I don't have a chance to ruin my blade do to stupidity. Also I have read a few things and I heard that going to fast stropping can dull the blade and going too slowing can do the same. I was wondering how many trips back and forth should take place per second (say it should take one second to pull it in one direction and another to go the opposite.... that sort of thing). Some of the stropping videos I see seem like the people doing it are going way to fast to have any sort of control....

Thanks guys,
