Thread: Elbow Hurts from Stropping

As has been said, it probably is a case of squeezing too hard and 'trying too hard'. Just relax, because it really shouldn't hurt.

Also, at what height do you have your strop? I use my strop hanging at just a bit above hip height. The higher it is, the more strenuous stropping gets for me.

Thanks. I had the top just below shoulder height. On the suggestion of someone else in this thread, I lowered it to just above hip height.*

I'll try to relax. Thanks.

* Reminds me of the movie version of "Educating Rita" where Rita (Julie Walters) called Dr Bryant (Michael Caine) a "geriatric hippie" :-)

Well, my elbow problem made the newspapers!
