Blade maintenance - pasted strop?
I have been using a straight for about 3 months and really enjoying it. I have about 4 razors in my rotation and one of them became a bit dull so I gave it 5 laps on my coticule, stropped it and it's back on form.
I have been wondering though if I shouldn't make use of a pasted strop or use paste on my linen strop which is part of my TM latigo strop. I do have the paste for the linen strop but have so far held off from applying it because I didn't want to ruin my linen. I also have a TM practice strop which I could use as a pasted strop.
So my question is what should I do? Freshen my razors up on the coticule and not worry about pastes? Use paste on my linen and strop with it before each shave? Paste my practice strop and use it as and when required?
Any advice gratefully accepted.
