Anyone find stropping to be relaxing?
I caught myself stropping the other day just to do something useful while reflecting, and I do believe it was magnificent.

Don't reflect too hard when stropping, or you may end up reflecting upon how one strop became two shorter ones....
But yes, stropping can be very relaxing. Many repetitive actions are: for example, I am an avid crocheter and find it a very meditative and relaxation-inducing activity.

Not relaxing. You have to concentrate to avoid nicks and get a good result. But is sure is a satisfying job.

To me(and I believe many others) concentrating can be relaxing in it's own way, especially when I'm shaving.Originally Posted by strtman
A while back I got a bit too into it when I was stropping and caught myself drooling on my shirt, it was weird.

I don't strop 100 laps because the blade likes it but because I do.

No I don't, but I do find honing to be relaxing.

Same here, stropping doesn't do much for me, but honing I can do for hours
