Thread: Stropping between hones?

Thanks for the replies. They are along the lines of my thinking, but if I had the answers I wouldn't need to ask.

I have never tried stropping between hones before and my experience is to little to make a judgment but brought up my thoughts. I have never had much luck with HHT etc. Arm hair to me is at least a basic test that I can get a little reliability from although there is no set standard to me of that either. I was thinking about posts about shaving from the 8K and even 1k when I thought for giggles I would try the arm with the 400.

As far as the Atoma 400 being course and leaving a toothy edge that makes a lot of sense to me but if it left "really" deep gouges why would a few strokes on the 1K remove them and make the effect less noticeable so quickly?

If removing these teeth makes the arm hair removal less what is the point of trying arm hair as a test?

I can see where stropping could improve the edge at any grit level but is the improvement going to be negated if going to a finer hone?

Maybe it is just to cold of a day and I have to much time to spend indoors and think?
