Thread: First straight is on the way!

great glad to hear i made an ok choice. the site i purchased the razor off has a cheap ($27) "jemico" leather only strop that i was thinking would make a good "abravise paste only" strop. the problem now is that they seem to only carry yellow dovo paste and then 2 other unidentified pastes, colored red and black (red- http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/st...il.html?s=J75R ) are these colors universal for their micron content? i have a strong feeling the answer is no so i emailed them to inquire but i figured it couldnt hurt to ask here in case someone has seen this stuff before.
thanks for the continued help guys, this place is great (help file section would have saved me hours had i found this site first!)

edit- they emailed me back and said they dont know the abrasive levels of those 2 pastes (shame) as with shiping costs on ordering just one item from them or even 2 strops it's not that great of a bargain becuase id have to get the hone off another site and pay shipping there... that is unless that Col. conk $17 razor hone is acceptable?? the grit is of that cheap hone is also not listed, is this thing to be avoided or is it an ok cheap alternative?
