It worked or not , who knows?
I remembered I had a brand new SRD paddle strop that I'd never used, I bought it for sprays a few years ago but never got around to using it.
Finished my honing , stropped on the cordovan and it was barley popping hairs, so I gave it a go with a harder Tomo and then onto the paddle, suede then leather 10/30.
Wow is it popping tree top hairs. So I got a few razors out and stropped them on the paddle , very nice .
I'm gonna start using it now and probably between stones because its a paddle by my side I don't have to stand up to use the hanging..
