Coticule vs. pasted or CrO2 strop
I saw a thread a while back wherein one writer, if I remember correctly, said that he would not follow a coticule with a pasted strop as the pasted strop, though it added to the sharpness, took away some of the smoothness left by the coticule. I've been considering trying a pasted strop but would like to hear some comments from the forum about this issue.
As fine as the pastes seem to be, it seems to me, in my uneducated opinion, that they would not be a detriment to the smoothness of the edge. But, I'll defer to the experience of the group.:shrug:
Also, if this is a valid concern, does it also hold true for CrO2?
Thanks in advance.
