More pressure and laps on Paddle Strops?
Is anyone else finding that the geometry of the Paddle Strop requires more laps and more pressure than used on hanging strops? When I originally started using the SRD Paddle Strop, I was avoiding any pressure. I found little to no result from that. As I have started to apply pressure, still with good technique, I am starting to see better finishing of the blade. Has anyone esle seen this?
Shaving with razors I'm honing?
Yes, most certainly. My face is paying the price for sins I commit on the stones. In fact, my shave this morning was 50% better after using additional pressure and more passes on the SRD Modular Paddle, all other parts of my honing progression unchanged. I may have reached the point of diminishing returns, but will continue the experiment tonight. Thank you for your comment.
