    No, the spine stays flat at all times during the stroke, lifting can round the edge, or worse dig into your strop and slice or scuff it. Also, the spine leads the stroke (opposite of honing). Don't worry about getting a very noticeable acoustic type feedback; some razors do, and some won't make a peep. Just keep the strop taught, spine flat, and constant contact with a smooth even stroke, and let the strop do its work.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
