I received my first straight razor last week along with my first strop. My razor was just returned to me from Max Sprecher, so it should be shave-ready sharp. My question is about stropping speed. I have seen numerous videos on stropping and I think I have the general idea: no weight on the razor, strop with the edge trailing, roll it over on the spine. But how fast do I need to strop? In some of the videos I have seen the person will go very slow in order to show technique. Does that still work or do you need to develop some speed before effective stropping is attained?
Thanks for any info.
