I've been stropping for almost a week now and this is what I do.
1. I place the blade gently on the strop do a very fast stroke, stop, just shy of the flip, gently flip the razor on it's spine, do a fast stroke back, stop just shy of the flip, slowly flip, and repeat another 60 times or so. I know going fast during stropping is important, but I figuere the fast part matters most during the stroke.
2. With my razor in my right hand and my arm fixed to my side, I move my entire body with the blade along the strop by shifting my body weight from my left foot to my right foot. I ensure the left hand holding the strop dosn't let the strop slack.
I have a Filly for practice, but I am so confident using these technigues I occasionaly do 30 laps on my 3" Black Latigo. I didn't even think I would see the Latigo for another month or so let alone touch it with my Dovo.
Am I forming bad habits? Should I stick with this or change, to a style I see on the Wikki page? Does or did anyone else strop like this?
