    Default Razor sound on the strop, bevel not set?

    So, I have a question about the sound of the razor draw on the strop. I have a Dovo, full hollow, that zings along and I can feel the blade as it goes along with little pressure. Next, I have a quarter hollow smiler that doesn't make a sound and I really have to turn my wrist to get it to draw. Does this mean that the bevel is not right or do some blades require more twist on the strop. It's not a bad shaver-not my sharpest blade- but not a bad shaver. What say you?

    Brandon- horses have the temperament of a house cat...a 1,200 pound, frightened cat, with a brain the size of a piece of bubble gum.
