    uhm we are talking about applying compound on a strop for the purpose of honing straight razor, not knife. You have absolutely no evidence about the transferability from the area you have experience with to the area you are giving advice about.

    An edge that is perfectly good for a knife can be absolutely terrible for shaving.

    Just for everyone reading this, In my opinion it really would be a bad idea to rub in diamond spray on felt for exactly the reason I posted...

    Always keep in mind razors are very, very different from every other type of sharpening...

    Thanks Gugi and Robin for following up on this...

    I sprayed my felt with about 10-15 squirts pr felt.

    Firs I held it to close and the spray made little puddles on the felt, I wipped off with tissue and applied spray againg longer away from the felt.

    The small drops that gathered I evened out with my fingers.

    After about 1 hour there were dry, and I repeated the process.

    I get a slight trace of dust on my fingers or razor, when i rub them easy on the felt.

    I think there are good now?
