    I do both! I stroke in an arc from left to right and back. It's what's most comfortable for me and ensures that the blade edge stays on the strop on the return stroke (a problem I had initially). The toe starts on the strop, mid-stroke the toe's off the strop but the heel is fully on, then by the end of the stroke the toe's back on and the heel is off. This is getting me good results so far. I think the key is that you get the whole blade on the strop in the course of your stroke. However you do that is up to you.

    Peace,
