It is my view that pasted strops are great for bringing back an old or tired edge. I also use it to give a certain level of smoothness on a newly honed edge. I don't have it on my strop that I use daily. Mostly because I don't need it daily and it is a little bit on the messy side and gets on other stuff without using much. My fear is that putting it on one side of the felt on my daily strop and pretty soon I'd have it everywhere. The magnetic paddles look like a stroke of genius. If had known of them in the beginning I would have traveled that route.

I have a second felt bench strop for sprays. From the posts I've read, it seems as though a few years back there was a greater enthusiasm for pastes and sprays. Maybe as people have become more graduated in their tools and techniques, pastes have become less needed for many users.

Ive tried slurry dia spray cbn crox on various mediums and the best combo IMHO is crox on linen hanger. I don't know why but that works for me. I don't crox after my jnats or Escher.
