no matter how good you are at honing, a little crox will improve the edge of any stone, synth or natural. the thing is, there are many sizes of crox, many different strops, and many different variables that we are not mentioning. for example: how tough is your skin? or, how tough is your hair? even then, a denim or sailcloth strop with .5 crox will improve anything. there are many ways to ĻimproveĻ on that. the most important question is if you need it. i go all the way up to .1 cbn in a paper strop, as instructed by euclid440. but thats me.

try to find out what works for you. discard the rest.
