    Default How much pressure when stropping?

    A lot more pressure than you might think. The "weight of the blade" is a myth. It's the sound. I've never heard anyone talk about the sound a proper stropping makes and using THAT as your guide. You're shooting for that paper tearing sound. More on a hollow and less on the wedge.
