Thread: Nick in leather, will this affect preformance?

Just to add something that might be in your mind,,, smooth does not mean fast/less draw. I have a few different strops and they are all smooth. Some no draw, some heavy draw, but all smooth. And just because the draw is light, doesn't mean you have to go fast. It's just easier too :<0)

I recall Glen saying.. "Slow is Smooth, and Smooth is Fast"

I know he says this about honing, but I believe it applies to stropping as well.

Moving slowly encourages a smooth stroke. A smooth stroke will yield the desired result more quickly...
