Strops: draw, technique?

[binder]

I would like to improve my stropping so have a few questions. I was wondering how much the draw affects the way a person strops and how much is necessary in a strop. How would a person change the draw in a strop? I am using full hollow and half hollow razors at the moment.

Interested in any tips that would help improve stropping.

Thanks

If you like the draw, you will strop better and maybe more laps. If you don't like the draw you might strop worse and not strop enough.

If you have an oil tanned leather strop adding oil usually increases draw, and removing oil (either by wiping with alcohol or sanding/wiping) can lessen draw. Of course some strops will behave in the opposite too so YMMV.
