Counting while stroping
Hi its me again I am starting to learn how to strop doing to slowly as they say but the thing that's messing me up is the counting how many times you strop I know you got to do it between 40 to 60 but I concentrate so much on doing the strop right so that i don't damage the strop that about after 20 I have lost count!! Is there a secret to this counting while you strop if there is can i have it please

Counting while stroping
No secret other then when you get the stropping thing down you really won't need to count anymore you will just have a feel for when you hit around where you want to be.

I think once you get comfortable with stropping you will be able to count easier. I honestly just count to 20 and start over and do another 20. Anyway, it does not have to be precise. I am sure a lot of folks do not even count and go by feel.
From their stillness came their non-action...Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place

Don't worry too much about the whole counting thing.
After a while you'll get a feel for when it is done
When in doubt, just do a few more, and you should be good!Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

Thanked: 94Honestly I only count my down strokes. I start with an upwards stroke and count 1 on the down. But then I am simple when it comes to numbers so it has to be easy lol

You know that Grover guy who makes all those Republicans sign that pledge? Well, when you join this site it says in the fine print you must count every time you strop. What if you don't? You don't want to know.

I can never keep count either.
I don't go by feel on the strop. I go by feel on my face.
I just estimate as I go and stop when I think I've done 75-100 passes. From experience, that keeps my razor shaving well.

I always strop 100 laps. It has been helpful with my counting, and now I can count all the way to 250.
