    I like the ideas:

    - stropping between stones while honing (thanks Euclid440)
    - several progressively faster draw leather strops (thanks outback)
    - stropping on lead-treated leather (thanks again outback and Sharptonn)

    Will try all these for sure but what form of lead is applied to the leather please and how do you get it to stick?
    I like to lead a linen strop. I just use a stick- on, tire weight. Lay it on a table, and rub it on the strop.

    I only use mine after a fresh honing
