I have one of Tonys pasted strops which has kept my razors sharp, but Im either going to have to send some stuff out soon or just break down and by the norton 4k/8k.

if I get the norton and I have the pasted strop isnt that enough to get the job done right?

Keep in mmind Im spoiled most of my razors have been honed by Lynn or John Crowley.

it probably doesnt matter but all of my razors (or most) are stainless steel and 8/8.
