    Post Average stropping speed on Hanging strops

    Hey guys I was thinking about this today, and thought this might be a good thing to actually figure out between all of us...

    Strop on your hanging leather strop for 30 seconds, time it out, and count it out, as best as you can..
    Now for those of us that hone professionally DO NOT do the high speed thing OK, I know my stropping speed is higher when I am stropping in the razors after honing, then when I am stropping my personal razor before a leisurely Sunday shave... Use the normal speed for this poll please

    And be honest this is not a race, let's try and get a real number here for possible use for giving to the new guys...

    Let's also ask that only people that have been Straight Razor shaving at least 3 months and feel confident in their stropping abilities answer the poll...

    I left the names posting hidden, I am hoping for honesty here not bragging rights

    Thanks In Advance

    I will put up some numbers and will add more if needed either faster or slower rates, I am going to try it on my shave tomorrow morning....
