So, you wouldn't even attempt to use the rouge on a str8.
I rarely use jewelers rouge and I have not used it for sharpening. I sometimes use Dovo red paste on strops but I'm not sure that it is same grade as jewelers rouge. You can experiment with it and you it might work for you. Some of the differences in sharping razors from knives is pressure and angle. Lynn's DVD has a very good sharpening section and I would recommend you watch it to get an idea of what honing a razor entails.
