If I may, Binder. Keep a chill until Oct 1st and there will be a big pile of stropping info here. Look for a thread called "Stroptober". Some of the more experienced guys will be stropping for you and it will be discussed in great detail. In my opinion, every blade strops differently, so one must learn to "feel" as one strops. Not too heavy, taught strop, not too tight, not too loose. A matter of feel involved. Different strops and different leathers and different razors. Different requirements. JMO One thing is certain. It is like shaving and honing. No two men do it the same exact way. Techniques differ widely. You will find one which suits you.
I, for one, am looking forward to learning from it. Stropping is the most important part of maintaining an edge and you will gain significant knowledge from it, I promise! ;)
