I strop on the palm of my hand after the final finishing stone - a habit I got into after watching a Mastro Livi video. If I’m wearing denim, I do a few laps on my thigh. Then at least 50 laps on a high draw strop and another 50 on a light draw strop.
10-20 passes on linen before I shave and another 50 on a Light draw strop. When it starts to tug, I go to a balsa paddle impregnated with CrOx and redo the strop progression.outback likes this.David
