Good vid! And congratulations on your Shave of the Day! The IBSCS is proud of your hat trick!!!
Yeah I was always using the not so tight hold, I pull it tight then back off an inch or two. I keep hearing the mentor guys saying you want a bit of deflection and I'm assuming that means how much bend in the strop there is. Hopefully one of them will comment.

And thanks for cheers about the hat trick! Haaruumph!
