Are you using the pasted strop instead of a leather strop???
I'm kind of lost what you meant in your post???

Sorry sorta

I am experimenting with a Spyderco UF and a Chinese 12k on separate razors, then stepping into .5 and .25 diamond pastes on a 4 sided paddle. I am only using the paste as part of the honing process. My hanging strops have no paste of any kind on them, just the paddle. The test shave just felt closer without using the hanging strop as a finisher than the razor I used after stropping with the hanging strop. I hope that makes sense... I will use PM to follow up as I don't want to take this fine thread into a granularity that may confuse anyone. uhh further

Kind regards,
