    Default CrOx really makes a great difference...

    Hello gents...
    Yesterday, before the shave I decided that my Othello needs a bit of touch up because it pulled a bit last time...
    So, I was thinking hitting my mysterious stone with few strokes, but then I recalled that last month I did a flatbed hone that I over pasted with CrOx (it looked like a pool table)...
    Then I took the flatbed and rubbed the back of my hanging strop and then I rubbed it some more with the palm of my hand...
    And there it was, my strop pasted with minimum amount of CrOX...
    I did 30 passes on CrOx and another 60 passes on leather and the shave was just superb...
    Now I see that less is more with CrOx...
    I just had to learn it the hard way...

    oops, I was talking about strops in honing section...
    can someone of moderators move this tread to strops section, please...
    thanks...

    Always suprises me how well that stuff actually works, and how little of it you need to get a really polished and smooth edge!

    'Tis good. I put a tiny bit on the back of my little Dovo strop. I must admit I do a good 30 swipes on it and "By God it works" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It makes my bevels shine
    Now, if I could get my pre-coticule edges sharper, with a nice 1200 diamond thingy, I think I could split the atom or am I dreaming?
