I guess that if you struggle to maintain consistent contact on the strop, it would be a possible way to help keep it there.
Would you be using this technique just for pastes, or for all, including everyday stropping prior to a shave?
What do you strop with right now? Are you using paddles already, or a hanging strop?
Try it & see how it goes for you. You may find that despite your intention that there will be minimal pressure, it creates more than you expect. Update us, eh.
