Yep you got it. That's what I've been doing. I just wish I didn't have to be so careful. At least I do with this razor (imp) as the shaft is a little wider than the rest of razor. Other razors lay flush from the shaft on down to the spine of the blade so its not a problem..oh well, I guess I'll be chewing up a $100 strop, because it seems to happen, no matter how careful I am..
