Thread: Felt strop crox question

I always strop 20 strokes on felt before stropping on leather. I am considering covering the felt with chromium oxide and only using it when the edge needs freshening. Anything wrong with this idea?

i bought some spray Crox from SRD and sprayed the back side of my felt strop with it. would be interested to know what others opinions are though.

I think I want it on the front side of the felt. I am not sure I see the value of the felt by itself but do see the value of easily accessible chromium oxide.

I have my crox on a separate strop to my daily strop, and it is a leather paddle. It does not see very much use for razors though. I like it away from my daily strop just to make sure if doesn't get everywhere.

I have a felt strop I only use when refreshing my razor with crox spray. When i feel my razor needs a touchup i use the felt strop around 10 passes and then move on to the leather strop after.

does anyone use a felt strop for their daily strop? i guess i was under the impression it could be used in place of linen or nylon.
