I would suspect its more of an angling and approach issue than a stropping one. Are you right handed and are you only using that hand? If so, try using your left hand on your left side. If that is it then it underscores the impact of our technique on our shave.
I'm right handed and shaving with both hands. I bet you're right. Lots to improve on and it's good to try and isolate where the problem is. I'll see if I can use both sides of the blade with my more confident hand and check the difference. Thanks.
