I usually strop on 2.5 inch, using a heel leading stroke to touch the entire edge of the blae.
Now I am looking at a wide strop, 3 inches or a bit more. I know that on wide strops people often hold the razor straight sideways. Because you can. You don't need to run it at a forty five degree angle.
But what if I want to continue with my heel leading stroke? Just not touching the outside half inch or so of this wide strop? I prefer heel leading.
Over time, will it deform or harm the strop in some way? Are we required to hold it straight sideways when using a wide strop?
Thanks
