I like that paddle. Looks great.
What's the paddle (handle) material made of?

The paddle is made from 6mm thick clear acrylic, with 8mm balsa on each side.

Looks good Grant. Well done.

Nice paddle. I typically use 10 passes on the .50 Chromx side to sharpen up the edge. Sometimes when the edge needs a little extra, I will give it 10 passes on the 1.0, then 10 on the .50.
There is a sharpness threshold that I can feel on my razors just by lightly touching it with my thumb pad and I like to keep my razors very sharp.
I do use the canvass/leather strop every shave.
My softy Dovo Tortoise needs a paste visit after every two shaves.
My other other carbon blades needs a paste visit after every 4 shaves.
My stainless steel blade needs a diamond past visit after every 4 shaves.
Good Luck!
