My question is what differance do you guys find paste makes and why you use paste or why you would rather not use paste.
Hey Gary,

I think your above statement pretty much sums it up for me. Knowing that you are a coti enthusiast, which is also my weapon of choice, I can say that I have shaved directly off the coti and have been pleasantly surprised. And then sometimes I'll give a razor a few swipes of chrome and be more than happy.

YMMV of course, but in this shaver/honer's opinion there is nothing wrong with a bit of paste to finish 'er off.

Different swipes for different types, eh?
