Thread: I want to add some more paste to my strop...can someone tell me how?

I bought this strop a while ago and it came with about 4 inchs of green paste on the rough side of it. The Filly...i feel like the paste isnt covering enough of my strop and would like to add some more. Could you guys kinda help me out in identifying what type of paste this is...how i should apply it...or if i should apply a different kind? Thank you

RupRazor - The Filly
The rough side comes treated with 0.5 micron chromium oxide for touching up the edge on your razor.

On a personal note, not using boldface for your entire text would make it better readable.

So i should stick with the paste i have on there? There wouldnt be a certain type that would be more effective?

Perhaps you should calm down a little bit, i see the articles related to what the different pastes are for and how to apply them. I am simply asking if it is ok to add a different kind...or if i need to add more. There is no need to be rude.

That depends on what you are trying to achieve, as detailed by Tony Miller in the article on pastes. Mixing pastes is certainly not recommended.
