Here's the strop after the above bevel work. Pretty dark...problem with swarfing, do you reckon?

Sorry about that.
Ahhhh, yeah...paulownia. That's what they make the razor boxes out of, isn't it? I forgot about that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah Jim!!! Since Chris was too busy to try the diamond strop you won by default. YOU BUY BEER
It is very interesting that you were able to get formerly "challenged" razors and have success. You never know what you are going to get until you try. So what do you call this contraption?
I think the coolest thing about it is that you did it with a grit that low.

Jim,
Are you going to shave test it as is?? If the bevel look like you just came off a coti maybe it will feel like it too. Give it a shave for goodness sake before you start the next grit. Maybe the grit is breaking down and by the time you finish it is a huge change. You are going to implode if you don't slow down Now go shave!!!! Hurry!!

Way to go, Jim. So I understand correctly: You backhoned the entire time? Stropping motion with spine leading and edge trailing? I assume that's what you did. If so, that's great. Very cool.
Oh, and I don't think you have to worry about swarf having a negative effect and if it does eventually, you'll know it. You could always re-scrub the MDF with oil and reapply the abrasive or, chuck the MDF and just make a new hone.

Sorry mates, I've been a bit busy with other things, haven't got the 3K up and running yet.
Chris, I was stropping all the way except on the stubborn razor, where I tried some circles. It quickly wore some of the powder off, though, so I stopped.
Michael, You know, I might just try that...though I'm sure the grit isn't breaking down. According to Naniwa, GC is almost as hard as diamond, so probably not much chance of it breaking down against steel and MDF.
As far as the name, I was thinking..."Gabor"? Or perhaps Morton Gilchrist...
