Thread: Why do people use pasted strops?

Actually, the wiki states those are the disadvantages of a convex bevel - I don't know that a pasted strop necessarily creates a bevel so convex as to inherit those disadvantages to a measurable degree

I think this line in the wiki should probably be removed or qualified as a disputed theory:

When a blade is honed on a strop loaded with some sort of abrasive compound, the cutting bevel looses its triangular shape and becomes arc-shaped (or "convexed")
