Is it OK to strop like this?
I was thinking that I have read many times that is very important to keep the razor flat when stropping, even more for a newbie like me, but all the tutorial I have seen shows somebody using just one hand to hold the razor and go the "x-pattern". I was wondering if it would be better if, as in my case, using a paddle strop, just to put this on a table and then use both hands to make sure the razor is absolutely flat, kind of like this picture (I apologize for using it, I understand the owner of the picture is also a member here, I will delete it inmediately if told so), which is showing not stropping but honing technique, but it is exactly what I am trying to describe:
Of course I understand that it should be zero pressure on the razor, but I think it will help to keep it flat so no harm to the edge is made...
Well, any opinions?
Thanks and regards
