    See also my post above. I cannot get my TI Silverwing shave-sharp without cromium oxide paste. I honed about 50 razors with good results using hones only but the TI is an exception. TI recommend their paddle strop for maintenance: one side pasted leather, the other side plain leather.

    TI recently changed the steel they use. Maintenance recommendations are adapted to the needs of the tool to be maintained and vice versa. So that may explain why pastes may be a better choice this day and age for modern razors.
