hanging strop vs. paddle strop
Though I've been using pasted hanging strops, I'm moving more to the mounted strops because it seems to me that touching up a razor with a pasted hanging strop kinda defeats the purpose because the flexibility and deflection of the strop results in a slight rounding of the razor's bevel; whereas, touching up the razor on a pasted paddle/bench strop, because of it being a solid surface, tends to maintain the bevel's configuration -- or so it seems to me.
I'd like to know your thoughts on the pasted hanging strop vs. the pasted mounted strops, please. And thanks in advance for sharing your insight.
Paddle strop vs hanging strop
I tend to agree with Zib. I have a TI paddle strop one side is pasted with ChrOx, the other side remains unpasted but aventually, I am going to pasted with 1 micron diamond paste. The hanging strop that I am using is a red latigo purchased from SRD. I do my everyday stropping in the red latigo. I must confess that I did round a few straights at the beginning, however, my stropping has improved with time. Let's no forget that stropping is a motor skill that needs to be developed.
