Thanked: 275A suggestion (FWIW):
. . . If the edge is _almost_ right, try a pasted strop with a fine paste -- e.g. 0.5 micron Chromium Oxide.
In my limited experience, it can turn an "almost-shave-ready" edge into a "shave-ready" edge, quickly. I'm talking about 5 - 20 laps.

If you're stropping correctly on plain leather, and the razor is good, you should
only need _occasional_ use of the pasted strop.
