First off, thanks so much for the great advice I've received here. Nearly through my first week of SR shaving and doing reasonably well....today's success was getting a clean shave of those hairs right under my nose. Chin still poses some issues...

Anyway, not ready to hone but thought I can use some sharpness that the strop and cotton dont deliver. Thought I'd get a Tony Miller bench strop kit and some pastes thinking I'm less likely to screw up the blade on pastes than a hone at this point. Right or wrong (sure I can screw up anything in a multitude of ways including pastes)? Which pastes in what grades/grids or whateveryoucallem.

Thanks again, Jim
