Thread: Help... I think I stropped my razor dull!

For me, pushing the razor's edge down into the leather while stropping results in a dramatically sharper and smoother blade than if I strop lightly and tentatively.

For me , pushing the razor's edge down into the leather while stropping results in 2 strops

Last time I tried that I sliced my strop in two!

I like to concentrate on technique, and then speed, but I find I need to check my speed at times, to concentrate on form. I consider myself foolish if I stupidly relinquish control and wreck the edge...
