I actually used my paddle strop with sharpening pastes (Tony Miller special) for the second time today. I had a Dovo I purchased on ebay from an SRP member and I touched it up with the .25 diamond pasted side. Wow what a great addition to my sharpening arsenal. I got a really beautiful shave today with it. Probably one of my closest. Nice and smooth:) :) :)
The nice thing I have found about the paddle strop is that if a razor is just about keen but needs a bit more then the paddle strop can be used mid-shave. Just strop on the paddle then on your hanging strop and your back in business before your lather dries out. I have been favoring the .50 pasted side. The .25 may work on some razors but I have had a few that may have gotten a bit too sharp.

P.S. ahhh the cut has healed
I really like the .25 just like 20 stroke and then the plain strop ohhhh good shave.Quote:

Rich, so I decided too give the .25 another shot last night. I took a 5/8 Genco spike and did 20 round trips on the .50 then 10 on the .25 side. I had one of the most best shaves ever. Super close and no irratation. I followed up with Aloe vera then Peraso.
mmmmmmmmmm Peraso...

I got so used to shaving with a str8 I forgot how much I hated the moch3. A shave with a sharp razor and proraso nothing beats it except maybe Old Spice.:D
Yeah that 0.25 works well for me too, but you gotta be careful with it.
10 strokes is all you need.

I do like the effect that the .25 has on the blade. Nice smooth shave and the paddle is easier than the hone for touchups.:cool:
Agreed gentlemen. The paddle is great for "touching up" a good edge to make a great edge.
JMHO
