The paddle strop is 3, 1, 0.5 respectively. I am excited about its arrival. I went in with a buddy that bought it used along with some razors from SRP.
Received another strop last night (used but much better than the previous one). I stropped the razor and examined it under the scope and WOW what a difference. The hills and valley's are mere pimples as compared to their previous girth. "Strop funk" was very evident on the edge after the strop as well, yuck, I don't want to run that thing across my money maker with the goo attached. A quick wipe off on a clean cloth did the trick and the razor shaved notibly better. Still unable to pass the HHT though.
I am excited to get the TM 4 side paddle and see what I can do with the edge with it. I am shopping for barber hones too.
Aint shaving great!
