I have a two sided paddle strop, one side with 0.5 micron paste, and the other with 1.0 micron paste.

I use it fairly regularly to care for two razors, in combination with my hanging strop.

My question is, how often does the diamond paste need to be reapplied to keep it in top operating condition?

I have been away for about 5 weeks and took it with me to care for one razor. Over the past few days it just doesn't seem to be doing the job it once did.

Thanks,
Keith
