Is it necessary to put something on the linen side of the strop ?
No, it is not.
Nope.
Paste is just for touch ups. you can use a barber hone, paste or both.
If you want, you can paste one side of your linen and leave the other clean, and if your razor needs a touching up, strop it on the paste.
I think that the linen component on my Tony Miller works just fine without the need of pastes.
You know those little coloured tubes of strop paste Red,White,Green & Yellow?well how do they compare to .5 chr.paste?And who sells .5 chromuim oxide paste (if that's the correct name for it) in the UK?
Thanks.
Thanks,that's great information. I'm new to straight razor shaving and still trying to sort out all the information.
