Thread: Do you use synthetics but are opposed to pastes?

I'm not opposed to trying or using anything as long as it shaves well. My current finishing process is 12k naniwa, then 8-12 laps on a crox pasted webbing. I have a phig in the mail so who knows maybe that will change. The biggest improvement to my edges has been through refining my honing and stropping technique. There's no pasted strop or natural or synthetic hone that is worth a crap if the guy using them isn't up to the task.

I also don't like to limit myself because I think I know something.
