I have a 2.25" Dovo strop that I have nicked and ruined and have ordered another Dovo but the wider model.

I was going to turn the smaller one into a pasted strop. I found a tube of Thiers Issard Pate-A that I have had a while but have also ordered some chromium oxide powder.

Not knowing much about pastes, should I load up the strops good side with the Pate-A or CR-OX?

Are they different grits or do they do roughly the same thing?

Thanks,

Steve.
