Quick Q,

I don't own any Hone's yet, but I do have a pasted balsa board (Red and Green, I forget the grits) I do strop before and after each shave on my latigo leather which helps, but eventually I know I will need to touch up (5 - 10 shaves is a number I've heard bandied about)

My quesiton is, is the red/green balsa good enough or do I need to get a 12k stone or a pasted strop with diamond to touch up? (and I assume the touch up stroks are the same as stropping,,that is leading with the spine of the razor?)


Thanks
