Very informative and question
Thanks to all for the usefull information.
I'm a newbie and want to join the club... on this matter I just bought a Geo. Wostenholm&Son Peerless, so: Does any of you has any experience with this razor and recommend a stroping paste that best suits this blade?

This half ounce of paste goes a very long way. Dab a bit on the rough leather side of your Thiers-Issard double sided strop and and work it well into the leather.
Strop your razor in the usual manner until the dulled edge is re-newed.
Formulated using both Aluminum Oxide and Diamond Particles as the cutting agents which are suspended in a non-toxic paste bound together with tiny cloth fibers to prevent softening. The edge attained with routine use of this paste is comparable to that achieved with a 10,000 grit barber hone.
So my question is what if you don't have the TI strop? I have a Mountain Man strop with leather and cloth. Where do I put the paste?
