Howdy. I'm new to straight razors, and I'm actually still waiting for my strop to arrive. So I've learned from videos that you roll over the spine when changing directions on your strop and you don't apply pressure. So my questions are:
1.) What happens to the blade if you do like they do on TV shows and change directions not on the spine side but on the edge side? You know the TV version of stropping a blade, that fast wisk wisk wisk wisk wisk with the blade being snapped up in the air when they change directions.
2.) And what happens if you apply some pressure when stropping the razor?
