Thread: Lee Valley's Green Compound question

I use the green compound on my hanging linen strop. Seems to work just fine. It doesn't take much. Use it maybe every 10 shaves or when your blade starts to pull a bit. Use it like a strop, not a hone.

I use the same compound as a finisher to my honing mostly and sometimes for touching up. I use it on a brushed leather on a paddle. You'll have to let me know how it goes on a hanger.

Stropping direction is always the same whether pasted or not.

Thanks for all the advice. I just finished using both strops and I finally was able to do the hht - mind you - I did it only once - first time ever - so maybe it was a fluke. Anyways seems sharper than before - can't wait to shave tomorrow to actually test it.

Again thanks for the replies!

The shave-test is the only test that matters.
