Getting a paddled strop because I wanted to have material to put chromium oxide on and I don't like using the back of my strop (on the linen). Probably just going to get the SRD paddled strop, but if I do what from the SRD options do you like best for chromium oxide. I currently have Woodstock D2902 1-Pound Extra Fine Buffing Compound, Green would this be fine or would I need something else.

Side question. I just touched up my PRC Gryphon 8/8 on my thuri and the shave was amazing, BUT I shaved like 10 minutes after touch up and think I have a tiny rust spot (wouldn't come out from stropping). Do you guys wait a certain amount of time after honing razor before test shaving? I only did one pass and was extra careful keeping blade dry but sadly I think I will need to go to 8k to take rust out if it won't come out after I try stropping it again (hoping its linen or something stuck to bevel)
