Thanked: 335Hmmm,
From your description, this seems to be the way I strop and I have to say that it apppears to work well. The current favorite in the shaving stable, a 7/8 Friodur sqaure point, is responding very well to your approach - this being coupled with mparker's belief/technique that using the linen strop is key to helping maintain a sharp edge.
About this Friodur -- I don't like square points, but it sure is shaving like a dream and so far I haven't done any filet of cheek. And I'm not all that tickled with 7/8, as 6/8 seems to be the size that works best between my fingers and face. But this thing is shaving like a dream.
Stropping, huh? I hope that now I'll be thinking about it, I won't queer the deal.
