Increase or decrease depending on how the razor responds.

Once the canvas begins to darken it will self paste....
i.e. the oxidize steel will act like a fine polishing paste and
the need to refresh the strop will be minimized.

A honemaster will need to do stuff "shavers" do
not need to do.

I'll be using a SRP Paddle Strop with felt pad.

Felt, paddle all about the same....
One less than you think you need.

Adjust based on your shave testing....
It is less about removing metal than it is removing
exactly the right bit of steel.
