Thread: Advanced stropping

I read the key to this technique is to have more pressure on the spine but light on the edge so you don't get a rolled edge. Just thought this was interesting method.

The gentleman in the video - Liam Finnegan, the star of several Youtube videos related to shaving, was the subject of Obie's interview this month.

Could be a dull razor too. He does know his stropping. I'd get some irritation right about the exact spot that he his at.

Yeah it's not something I would encourage someone to try unless they have experience.

You'll also notice that his strop is relatively short, and that most of his arm motion is from the elbow down. That upper arm really does not move much at all, and I think that gives you a lot more control.
