Thread: Having trouble on the flip

This is how I do it - Move from the shoulder, lock your wrist, pointer finger on the bottom jimps, thumb on the top jimps and use your thumb to flip it (roll your thumb).
If your pivot pin is loose (razor moves back and forth a lot) you may need to tighten that up, that makes it very difficult to strop.
That's odd that you want to flip from the edge seeing how the edge should always be pointing away from you while stropping....I would think that would cause some rather awkward motion, that seems counter intuitive to me.
All I can say for your strop's sake and your wallet.....maybe use a butter knife to practice, and go slow.

I'd like to add, if your strop is long 21" plus try using less area on your strop. I found newer strops to be to long for me. I think working in a shorter area allows far more control, that's why my strops aren't all hacked up now, JMO....
