I have seen those that flip with the spine still on the strop and reverse direction, but I have found that I my timing sucks doing that and I nick my strop badly at the end of the pull stroke.

So is that just a matter of experience and practice, or do some of you just lift the razor?

Thanks.

I do both. Just depends on my mood. Sometimes I like to lift the razor off of the strop and then slap it back down. Other times I'll keep the back in contact with the strop the entire time. Either way works for me, and I don't nick my strop.
