I have been using my straight for about 3 weeks daily now, Wont be able to buy a second razor for months yet and have obvously been reading about the sharpening paste to maintain the edge as i am using it so much. As i am UK based the diamond pastes i read about are not as available as the Dovo Red and Green pastes which are ie The Invisible Edge site. I intend to get a rigid paddle (right choice ?) and then do you recommend i use this make of paste. Do i need to just use the Red paste for a while a nd then move to the harsher green and if so do you use the green for some strokes and then the red for some to grade it ? There seems to be videos of people using the green paste, stropping and then to straight to shave ? And finally !! how often should i use it in my stropping routine ?
Thanks for your time.
