So, I've ordered my razor (from izlat, thanks man!). It's an old Wostenholm, full round 5/8, which I think will be a good place to start. Next I plan to order one of the starter sets from thewellshavedgentleman.com without a razor. In particular the set that comes with the multi-sided paddle strop. This one...

The site mentions that it's possible to get some of the sides pre-pasted. What I want to know is: 1) Should I do this? 2) How many sides should I get pasted? 3) Which grits are best for a Wostenholm? Pictures of the razor below...it's the razor on top. Thanks guys.
