    Lots of good advice from you all. :-)

    I too just hold hold the end of the strop in a relaxed manner and let it sag in the middle. My dad used to do it that way, and it has always worked well for me. The way I think about it is this: It doesn't matter if the strop is taught or loose, what is important is that the edge of the razor drags along the surface with very little side-load. In other words, the edge is being gently pressed straight along with being lightly polished without being bent to the side.
