critique my stropping
It seems more appropriate it place this thread in the Stropping forum than the Beginners...
However, I am a beginner and have only stropped my razor two or three times (have only shave two or three times). I'd like to make sure I nip any bad habits in the bud and am thereby asking anyone with a good degree of experience to watch my short stropping video and provide constructive feedback:
YouTube - a beginner stropping
1 - is the strop taut enough?
2 - I'm trying to place very little pressure on the blade...is this correct?
3 - I'm trying not to turn my wrist too much but rather rotate the blade using my fingers.... is this correct?
4 - is my diagonal pattern adequate?
Please provide the feedback on SRP, not youtube
PS - I usually strop more than this....about 20x on the linen and 40x on the leather, but have cut it down in the video for the sake of brevity.
