Thread: Down Stroke/Up Stroke Inconsistency

+1 on slowing things down a bit.

The other thing that you might try is cutting out a strip of newspaper the same size as your strop, clipping a 1" bulldog clip to one end to hang it up and practicing stropping with that.

If you get things wrong you'll only slice the newspaper and if you put too much pressure on the strop it'll pull out of the bulldog clip. Its a really great way to practice stropping without the risk of damaging your razor or your strop.

Good luck and keep us posted!
