Ryan,
I agree, "less is more". With a lightly treated strop it's easy to do a few extra laps, if needed.
Spraying can give a more uniform application, but you can still get an even (enough) application with the crayon and it's still my preferred.
Spraying wool requires some caution!! If you over wet the wool it will wrinkle. I did 2 at the same time with diamond exactly the same amount and one wrinkled and the other was fine. If you use the spray, go easy and let the wool dry between sprays. I never got the wrinkled one flat again.
I'd get a dedicated felt for the crox. If you do one side of your daily strop it always seems to migrate to the rest of the strop by rubbing on the back of the leather and then your hands, etc..
PM me an address and I'll send you an SRD crayon.....I have an extra one laying around.
If you decide on spray, here's a good vid by Lynn of spraying felt with diamond for a paddle strop, but it's the same for crox and a hanging strop.
:gl:............and let me know on the crayon.
Best Regards,
Howard :)
