As to speed, at one time there was a test done about it, those guys found that extremely slow stropping did not do very well... That does not mean you should be speed timing yourself either 60-90 laps per minute hehehe
A nice comfortable "CONTROLLABLE" speed is more important..
And practice the flip, a butter-knife or very dull razor is good here, really I am not joking...
