ok.. So i have read through a lot of old posts and from what i can understand, i should have two strops?

1 for stropping paste and diamond sprays
&
1 left alone (Keeping it natural with maybe a small amount of the Dovo yellow paste once every 6 months or so, or i could just palm rub it when ever i get a chance)

correct me if this is wrong..?

So at the moment i have one of the small Dovo strops, its stropping area is 45mm x 300mm. One side is leather, the other side is a white canvas. I'm not a huge fan of the strop due to the size.

On the Dovo i have used the black Dovo paste (Crayon) on it already and nothing on the white canvas side and i have only applied the paste a few times, it 'seems' to completely wipe off after using it so i don't think the paste has bedded into the leather.

I also have the red Dovo crayon\paste although i haven't used this yet.

I have ordered the "Straight Razor Designs 3" Premium I Leather Strop with the Hard Pressed Wool" and a bottle of the .5 Diamond Spray (And another razor but we wont tell the mrs about that! hehe)

Now for my question...'s (i hope there not too dumb)

Am i better off cleaning the Dovo leather and leaving all the paste off the Dovo strop (then use that for my 'clean' strop) or, should i just use the new strop for the clean strop? Will the wool be best on my new strop for the diamond spray or would the canvas on the Dovo be best?

Also i keep reading about the Dovo white canvas paste, should i have that applied on my Dovo strop or on the new wool strop... or is it not required at all? (I don't have any of the white paste yet)

From reading, it sounds like i should only use the diamond spray without the white Dovo paste.

Also with the Dovo black and red paste\crayons, can i use both of them on the one strop (If needed) or should the red only be used on a third strop?

Sorry about all the questions! I am learning... slowly!

Cheers,
Chris
