I know many discussions have been made on the use of 1000 / 1500 paper on glass, wood, tile, etc. for setting the bevel. I also know of the many concerns about paper rolling up while using it in a honing fashion.
My question is, would using paper in a stropping fashion achieve the same bevel results without rolling over the edge? Would this require less laps on a 4K afterwards to achieve initial sharpness? Just a thought I had after going from paper to the 4K tonight while setting a bevel on a C-Mon Blackie I just aquired ().

I know I should drop the coin on a hone just for resto's, But I always seem to have paper around from all the many other projects. What are your thoughts on this?
