You might want to use the lead well before hand,I have a feeling that lead oxides need to form if it really works.

Not gonna happen,my strops are to precious to me.But keep us posted.

Very interesting,is not the lead per/say,but the oxides that form.

As eluded to several times above,I think it is what the lead turns into as it oxidizes,forms an abrasive media of some sort,maybe:)

Just do not understand how you can remove ferrous metal with non-ferrous metal.

Good info Richard.
Lead also has some lubricating Qualitys,Wonder if thats part of the equation?

All very interesting but if it works,how/why do's it work?
