    Default An experiment with hard stropping.

    I've always used very slight pressure when stropping but I decided to try and see what would happen if I stropped with more pressure. A lot of pressure. Holding the strop quite firmly I used about as much pressure as I could, limited only by my fingers grip on the stem of the razor. I'm estimating about ten pounds or more of downward pressure on the strop. I did this for 20 strokes, far fewer stokes than my usual 60-80. The results on the first two razors I've tried were excellent. Keep in mind that I am in no way saying this is how it should be done but for me the results have been good enough that I'll keep trying it. Has anyone else tried really bearing down while stropping and if so, how were your results?
