I start seeing how it works. I must strop before every shave, touch up with paste once in a while.
Can honing with a stone replace or complement the pasted strop? Can you forget stone honing and let it for the honemeister?
If I decide a pasted stropping to keep the sharpness, should I use different grain size? Diamond perhaps?
I would prefer using a single padded strop with paste on one side and clean on the other to avoid excessiveness in tools and substances.
If not, I would use two leather strops, pasted and clean.
Do you agree?
Regards.
