    Default Looking for a stropping thread

    I want to find a thread that explained the effects of stropping under the microscope. The forum member posted various pictures with edges with 50, 100, etc. passes on the strop.

    I think I was one of fuzzyChops posts or threads. I do remember that one of the members mentioned that he kind of prove another study on stropping wrong. Another member even told him to get in contact with the author of the other experiment/article. Now that I remember I think it was another member that started the thread by asking how an edge look after stropping under the microscope.
