Thanked: 0A 24 hour wait peroid is not needed, the spray will dry in a matter of minutes and will be ready for use. When the strop does dry use your fingers and work the compound into the strop. I use a average of 1 spray for every 4 inches of length on a 3 inch wide strop. Start with one coat before going to a second coat as it can sometimes be too much.

Thanked: 0Sorry not up with all the terms yet so I'm not sure how to answer your last question.The method I described is for a leather strop, I do not do the same for felt. Felt is not something you should be using as a finishing step anyways its a de-burring tool.

Thanked: 1903Excuse my ignorance, but are we actually talking about razors? I am wondering, because Lynn has tested this method on hundreds of razors, and when he says it works, I feel strongly inclined to believe him. NB I have been using a diamond sprayed felt strop for a couple of months now, and the results were excellent.

Thanked: 0No matter if we are talking about a razor or a knife all edges are created the same way...through abrasion.FYI, I use all HA compounds an leathers and have used them for many years.

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.
