well, my ti pulled a bit, so i took out three dots of paste and stropped it with the paste and it is now keen again. seems i have done this about every 10th shave now? i gave away one of my barber hones and i am thinking that unless i ding it badly, this handamerican paste will do just fine. if i really get it bad, i guess i can order the flat strop and a coarser gritted paste, but do u think i will be hurting anything if i just use the paste from here on out? seems to be doing very well for me
