    Thank you so much for the great video! I now understand what I have been doing wrong. I have been using my wrist instead of my fingers. I am glad I bought an inexpensive strop at first. It has several nicks and cuts.

    That was a rather charming and informative video. You answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I had. (I found the "friction-warming" bit of info particularly useful.) Thank you for sharing.

    Your videos on stropping are excellent. Very detailed. Love your brushes. Will be looking at your other videos. Thanks so much.

    Nice video AFDavis11. I realize what I was doing wrong. I was keeping my wrist still, I was using my fingers to rotate and I was using light pressure and never letting the razor stop.


    I was not wearing a tie!
    Thank you for the great info!!!

    Thanks very much for the wonderful stropping instructional. I like how smooth your flip the razor, it's amazing to watch actually.

    Also thanks for mentioning no.2 pencil on strops. I use one of my cheap leather strops with graphite pencil now and I love it.

    AFDavis11, I just practiced my stropping technique after watching your video. It has helped immensely. The finger placement changed everything. Thank you very much for helping. Going for my 3rd straight shave tomorrow, 1st with the Genco I just got from nicknbleeding. Im sure my improved stropping will improve my shave!
