    Just a point of clarification for the OP.............

    Pressure......when I hone I use a 60/40 distribution, 60% on the spine and 40% on the edge ( approx). I try to do the same when stropping.

    Taut strop........Yup, a slack strop will dull the edge but please, not so tight that you pull the bolts out of the wall!

    I posted a video in the Stroptober thread asking about how taught to keep the strop, I keep hearing taught but I guess its like trying to explain what sharp is
    I dream of a world where a chicken can cross a road without having it's motives questioned.
