Thanked: 3Thanks for posting that link. I did some reading, and it sounds like a pasted strop can either bring an edge to life, or do some damage if the wrong technique is used. The first time I used a pasted strop, the result was fantastic. I used it again, and the edge now can't pass the HHT. I keep stropping, then testing, then stropping, then testing, and I can't get back to a sharp edge.
Any suggestions? Is this due to stropping technique? Should I just send the razor in to be honed? I stropped successfully for almost two months, so I'm a little confused/surprised that I seem to have taken a step back. Is this likely to be related to using a paste for the first time?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
