Im looking for some suggestions as what to use as a paste medium. I tried an experiment using red rouge on leather and it produced a nice polished edge, i think that it would do a great job after honing when i finally get round to it, it just smooths things out nicely. What i want to know though for strop paste mkII is what should i use as the medium. In my first experiment i used petroleum jelly, it worekd ok, but was a little messy and meant i had to wash the blade before stropping on pure leather. Any ideas as to what i could use?
