Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying some red and black strop paste:

leather shaving strop paste, dovo of solingen black red strop paste UK

However, I'm wondering if I can use the black straight off the 8K Norton, or do I need to use both the red and then the black after the 8K (or something else)? I'm hoping to buy a 12k chinese hone sometime, but sadly finances only allow me to buy the paste for now, as I already have two small/old strops that aren't being used for anything.

Thanks for any advice.

Steven
