I change the deflection of my strop to accomodate each individual razor that I hone, depending on the grind,i.e., full hollow would be relatively tight, 1/4 hollow would be a slight deflection - and so on to the wedge which would be the most deflection. - but, each razor and it's physical characteristics will guide me in regard to how much deflection it needs. This has to do with feel and sound.

* Good work, Alan
