Stropped with Diamond Spary
Last night I decided to try and strop my razor with the diamond spray that came with the SRD Modular Paddel strop. My razor had been pulling ever since I bought it, but took the word of the website when it said it was shave ready. I also nicked the blade accidentally and it put a small chip it the toe of the blade. So I sprayed the diamond solution onto the strop and carefully did an X-Pattern with the razor several times. After doing that I followed up with several passes on a plain (uncoated) linnen strop, and finally on the leather side. This morning I shaved with it and have to say.... WHY DIDN"T I DO THIS SOONER!!! The shave was unbelievable, I finally acheived a BBS shave. I always thought it was my technique and that I wasn't doing things correctly, but man. This was great. Totally smooth. I did nick my self,but nothing to bad.
Not sure if i did it right ,but how many passes should one do on a pasted/coated strop?
