Stropping one direction at a time
I'm a newbie at stropping and straight shaving in general.
While learining the technique I found it easier to strop in one direction at a time.
That is to say, pull the razor in one direction for one stroke, then instead of flipping on the spine and going back the other way, I lift the razor off the strop, go back to the start position and bring back down for another stroke.
Is it a bad idea to do, say, 10 strokes one way, 10 stokes the other way, then repeat as necessary?
Or is flipping the razor and doing conventional laps necessary?
Cheers.
