Thread: Stropping too much?

I feel like if it were possible to strop too much, I would've just hit that mark. I was actually kind of trying to over-do it just so I could see what this mysterious overworked edge feels like. 20 some odd laps on .50 micron Chrome Oxide, .25 micron CBN, and I lost count of how many on .1 micron FeOx and all I got out of it was a smooth shave. If I couldn't intentionally hurt anything with moderately skilled stropping on a pasted strop, you're going to have an awful hard time hurting anything on an un-pasted piece of leather provided your stropping is as good as or better than mine. And that's a pretty low bar to be honest, stropping isn't my strong suit.
