I am having a minor, minor issue when stropping and I have been unable to correct it for some time now. Here it is:

Okay...when I strop, my downstroke is fine. I get good drag, consistent sound and the blade stays flat on the strop. On the upstroke, about 3/4 through the stroke, I am lifting the edge of the blade off of the strop. Now, I know this is not a huge issue because most importantly, I am not damaging the edge at all. However, I realize that my stropping is inconsistent and uneven. I am also hesitant to try to correct the issue consciously because I am worried that I will overcompensate and start lifting the spine...a no no.

I think this is something I just have to let take care of itself over time. I'm not sure if anyone has any helpful suggestions?
