I feel the same way. I am trying to keep a taught strop but now there are some suggestions in this thread that may challenge this notion. So far my razor's sharpness has not declined as all so I do feel like shorynot does. "I must not be screwing things up.... 'cause I am not messing up my face." Or dulling my edge.

So what is the advice for the new guys that may not realize which way is better ?
