Thread: My stropping technique.

Rule #1 - Do what works for you.

That being said, I can't imagine this working well. You should really watch the stropping videos in the wiki.

Perhaps I'm getting the wrong impression from you, but it sounds like you're pretty much throwing your whole body forward and back; razor first. That's a recipe for disaster.

It also sounds like you're coming to a complete stop with the razor still on the strop. That is also a recipe for disaster. The slightest move in the wrong direction and you'll wreck the strop and your edge.

Stropping should be fluid and steady, not leaping forward and back with a razor.
