Thread: stropping with different razors. problems with razor construction? notably Red Imp

Since the strop is flexible there is not a lot of worry in any case.

I find that I habitually line up the heal edge of the blade
with the edge of the strop and start with slow
linear stropping strokes. After ten or so I move to a
more X like stroke so I do not miss the toe. With a classic
2" strop this would be a non question....

Keep the weight of the razor light on a tight enough strop
and all will be well.

Smooth and even strokes are key. Watch Lynn's video
where he grabs his strop after honing. This video... at about 2:45
