When I first started out honing I used pasted balsa and pasted felt prior to going into my standard stropping series. However, as I improved with my honing and after working with a local Mentor (Deighaingel/Gerrit) to further clean up honing techniques I found that the pasted portion was no longer noticeably beneficial. But, that is just my experience/my opinion. Now, it would be a tough call for me if I were using pastes on a razor as it would probably just be easier/more efficient to drop back into a honing series then strop/finish rather than using pastes as it would add an extra step and if pasting did not give me the results I wanted I'd be back on the hones anyway. That's my current thinking but, of course, likely to change.
I recently watched Lynn's 'Refreshing A Razor' video (linked also in Beginner's but I'll put It here as well)
... and his approach is interesting and he provides a lot of information on how/why.

My curiousity had me rivoted to this video last week. The video is what had me thinking about a paste/spray in improving my edge. But peeps are advising against it on a new strop. I think I'd better listen and wait to get my SR back from SRD.
