Doing good but still nicking the strop
Hello All,
I seem to be doing well stropping.
My first strop I cut quite a bit.
I practiced for some time with newspaper and didn't seem to have a problem nicking the strop.
Now I have a new strop and I have nicked this one as well.
Should I begin my return stroke while the razor is turning over? I feel like when I try to stop at the end of the stroke, turn the razor, flatten the blade and begin the return stroke... this is when I gouge the strop. I feel like if I was moving in the other direction while I am flipping the blade I would not push the blade and gouge the strop.
any ideas?
