I have been looking a lot at different stropping techniques for and thoughts for straight blades and just wanted to get some opinions on a couple questions.
1. When stropping, do you want the strop as taut as possible or do you leave a little flexibility?
2. Ideal number of strops I have seen range anywhere from 20-50. Is there a true ideal to shoot for in that range?
3. Am I correct in not applying pressure when stropping but letting the weight of razor be sufficient?
Thanks so much for all the help and thoughts!
