Xman,

Yesterday just for practice I stropped 30 times on the leather part
of the strop. As far as my thumb It is slightly closer to the blade
than the forefinger. I did not the middle finger this time. I did apply
a little more pressure than previously. The stropping seemed to go
better.

After stropping I did the hanging hair test. I plucked a hair from my
head and holding it by the tip gently tapped it against the tip. The hair
was cut. I also tested the edge against the inside of my left arm.
The hairs were cut quite easily. I did not test it before the last
stropping, I wish I had. I did not shave this morning though but
will do so in the morning. Should I make a few passes on the strop
berforhand? How about the linen?

Will inform you and the others of the results. I swear this is becoming
an obsession!!!


Regards,


Terry
