I'm sure my strop technique has cost me some longevity and shave ability. I think sometimes I over compensate for wanting the blade to be flat and I may end up applying unwanted pressure to the blade.
I have some questions. Is there an acceptable amount of pressure when stropping?
Also, sometimes I just bust out the strop out of boredom and I practice stropping. Is there such thing as too many strokes?
I typically strop on vegetable tan leather. I also have both plain canvas, and Dialux green compound loaded on canvas when I feel the plain leather isn't cutting it.
