May I suggest you stop using the red paste and use the Chrome Oxide instead? The CrOx is much finer than the red paste. Be sure to use the paste on a paddle strop, not a hanging strop.
Contact ChrisL, he has small packets of CrOx availabe or go to

Definitely pm ChrisL for some CrOx; stellar guy.
Also, there is no reason why you can't use a hanging strop with CrOx. There may be greater risk of ruining your edge with poor technique but some of us prefer the hanging strop to a paddle strop. I've found it's less likely to cause a wire edge.Last edited by Lordkappa; 01-21-2009 at 06:06 AM.

Yup, that is why I only recommend a paddle strop to new guys.
