Despite my reputation as a master of stropping, honing, shaving and everything straightrazor related, I still have my moments.
The following is an out-take from my now world-famous metronome stropping video, where I demonstrate that a rush of blood to the head is not the correct mindset for safe stropping. I took a very nice slice out of the strop at the hand end by trying to strop too fast.
Watch, and learn from the master!
EDIT: The cut occurs at around 33 seconds. It may be easier to see if you watch it in the 720HD resolution on the youtube site, or in full-screen.
