Thread: Stropping a smile?

Instead of rolling with every stroke, I roll every few strokes. So I do a few on the front, a few on the middle, and a few on the heel. Then a few on the heel, middle, and front. Back and forth.

I use this method a lot, I get in the rhythm of top, middle, bottom, top middle,bottom. Sometimes I use a rolling stroke. Both ways work but I like the first way better.

I strop all my razors the same no matter the edge type. I use an X pattern and mix up how I draw it over the strop.
