When stropping (I have watched videos and have a beater to practice with) do I let the spine contact the strop?
Help. Me.

Glad you have a beater razor to practice with, definitely keep that spine in contact with the strop the entire stroke. The pressure in the stroke(there isn’t much) should be on the spine, to keep the entire razor flat on the strop. You’re gonna get it, keep practicing!
Just my 10 cents! You can practice also whit a butter knife, take your time(like it’s not a race) your gone get it
Keep the blade flat on the strop as stated above. Make sure to keep the strop flat and don't
Press the razor into the strop, just let it glide on the flattened strop. A sagging strop won't do the job.
I usually never lift the razor from the strop while stroppng, but just turn it over on its spine at the end of each stroke.
It'll take some time before your muscle memory kicks in, but once it does stropping will be like a walk in the park. I usually look out the window while stropping, making plans for the coming day and yet there are no cuts in the strop that I've been using daily for about six years.
