Hey everyone, going to purchase a SRD honing here in a few minutes and drop my Dovo Astrale in the mail to Lynn tomorrow morning for honing as it is just factory "shave ready" right now and cannot pass the HH test. My question for you on pre-shave stroping is the necessity of CrOx? I guess I am asking this mainly because I do not fully understand yet what it does for me and my SR. My strop is a 3 inch Latigo with a poly strap in addition to the Latigo leather.

CrOx, whats it do, do you think I need it? Thanks!
