That's a great point Russel. Whether you like it or not, if you hone a razor on a pasted strop (especially hanging but also paddle to some degree) you should in theory get at least a slightly convex edge at the microscopic level. Actually using pasted leather and/or other media that "give" is the method that people use to put a convex edge on knives. This is a little bit different than the type of "straight" edge that is produced on a strong flat stone. I don't have much experience with this but many people really like convex edges on knives. I'm not really sure how this would translate to a shaving edge and the possibility of "overhoning" but just thought that I would throw that out there. Could this have something to do with the fact that many experienced shavers claim that a great edge produced on a hone will last longer than a great edge produced on a pasted strop even though many preffer the shave the latter provides in the beginning? Now I am starting to get off topic though :)
