I don't know but I think I saw smoke coming off that leather :)

[QUOTE=Scookum;1036731]Okay, here is another one. This time I have questions about how tight to keep the strop. Hopefully the audio works.
From old barbers manual.

Well, here is my video. I’m sorry there’s no ‘commentary’ I was a little too shy for that. You’ll notice (as I did) that I’m a wrist roller. However, permit to say that I don’t see a problem with wrist rolling; as long as the edge of the razor is held and kept at the correct angle against the strop. That’s just my opinion; I’m no expert but it works for me.
Normally, I do 30 canvas 70 leather before every shave and 10/10 after. The strop I’m using here is my new one; and I only use this on Sundays when I shave in my bedroom. I love the slickness of the linen on this; and the draw of the leather (English bridal).

PS: The link does work!
Oh good. Yeah, the strop is amazing, highly recommended, compared to this my Dovo strop is a child's toy...
Carl, I wanted that video to keep going. Have you done a shave video with that setup? I'd like to see it in action. Cool stuff!
Great video (as have been the others too) and nice strop.
Just saw this thread. I will make a solid effort to contribute. A few of the new guys who have stopped over have offered help if I need it so maybe they can do the camera work while I strop.
