I'm a newbie so I may be posting this in the wrong place, but since paste seems to be closer to a hone than a strop, here we are.
I realize you need a strop before you even put the razor near your face, and I know that after a short while the razor will eventually need to be honed again. Where the hell does strop paste fit into the process? Is it just another small step between honing and stropping? Is it a mandatory item to have? Thanks in advance for the help. No matter how much of this I feel like I'm doing..... ,it seems everyone has been more than happy to pitch in with advice and knowledge.
