Question: When I bought my strop it came with a 3 micron balsa strop. Recently i honed my first razon on my own using lapping film. One of the films I have is a 3 micron film.

My question is... why not use the 3 micron film and hone/lap, instead of using the balsa strop ! I can follow it up with a .3 micron lapping film too.

Please advise.
