Stopping with a untaught strop
I usually strop with a hyper taught strop and use a little pressure. I can strop a blade in just 4 laps like this, which as you can imagine, saves some time in the morning. Recently, after watching Lynn's video again I decided to let the strop hang down a little (maybe just a 1/4 inch) and strop with a very, very, light touch. I noticed I now get a really smooth edge like this too. Fun! All the varied ways to do the same thing....but anyway. I noticed I get absolutely no drag with this method. Do you guys who use an ultra light touch and don't hold the strop ultra taught (if there are any guys like that...lol) not get any drag when stropping?????? Seems like I'm getting a tight little edge on the blade this way seeing as that I'm stropping the very tip. Hopefully I won't roll the edge but I've never had fear of that. Plenty of hones around my house.
Oh, and it takes like 15 passes...not bad though
