Thread: I destroyed my brand new strop in 3 weeks with nicks

If you stop the stroke before you lift the edge from the strop you are going to nick it
Its werry hard to come to a full stop without reversing
Same about completing the turn before you start the stroke
its real easy to get a twitch the wrong way
_,_.________________._,__ if you stop at the comma the edge should be off the strop by the dot and not reach the strop before you reach the dot again

Bad illustration i know but i cant be bothered to draw anything right now

Your lucky to have someone near to show you the tricks
