For some time now I've felt that I wasn't getting the most out of my strop. After watching Lynn's video on stropping now I know it to be true. I had my strop hanging at almost shoulder level and was stroking up and away/down and back. After seeing the video, I moved my hanger to waist level and allowed the strop to cant slightly to match the natural angle that I held the razor. Not only did it feel more comfortable, the results were amazing. I also didn't hear the telltale ringing sound at the end of the stroke (I was a chronic lifter). I feel that the lifting of the razor may have been a symptom of having to hold it at an unnatural flat angle. Long story short - I had the best shave that I've had in months. Thanks Lynn.
