Ok, so i got this TM 2 sided paddle strop for christmas, it has 1.0 and .5 paste on it.

My razor kind of felt like it was pulling some, so i did 10 laps on each side. but it doesnt really feel any smoother shaving. so i did around 20 more on each side. it helped some, but not like it was when i got it shave ready.

Should i do more laps on my strop or does this thing need to see a hone? any ideas?
