Gents,
I have a cheap 2 1/2" hanging strop I've been using in order not to slice up a decent one. I've viewed quite a few videos on technique, but I've previously not been rolling on the spine of the razor, so I've identified that my stropping passes have been made with the spine slightly lifted from the strop. Would I be right in saying I've been doing it wrong?
To start again to correct my technique, should I instead lay my strop down on a tabletop to get the rolling? What would have been the resulting effect with my passes with the spine lifted?
