    Default Does anybody

    Have a problem with their stropping fingers on the shank creeping toward the heel of the razor? I do, and I periodically have to stop, and move my fingers back, or more precisely my forefinger and thumb. If there is a fix for this I would like to know it because it is kind of annoying to stop and reposition.

    Thanks

    Seriously,, the razor is open with the scales in the palm of my hand, my fingers on the shank are only there to flip the blade mainly, the palm & my three bottom fingers hold the razor steady & straight,,,not sure if that makes sense...

    I get the same issue, particularly with my frameback, I think it's the no jimps/ very thin but deep tang combo, don't want to modify some jimps in though, carl would definately cry.

    I have the same issue on my hanging strop. Not so much on my bench strop, though.
    I have learned that if I don't stop and reposition, things get wonky and a strop cut is possibly next!
