How many of you fellow actually use abrasives on hanging strops. I know there were a few threads about abrasives on linen, etc....
I know this was common practice many years ago and even my barber had a "Sharpen"/"Finish" strop on his chair. One component was plain leather, the other coated with a red abrasive.

So, have you experienced any rounding of the edge with normal use or do you take extra effort to keep the strop even more taut than usual? How about the fineness of you abraisives......TI pastes (2 micron maybe), Dovo red, green or black? Chromium?

Do you use it only occasionally like a paddle for refreshing or do you use a mild abrasive almost every shave to maintain a highly polished edge?

I got my own thoughts on this and have experiemtned quite a bit but wanted to hear your experiences first.
