    Stropping affects and refines the edge through a process called burnishing, so it will smooth out a rough edge. The idea with using higher grit stones is that the striations on the edge are as small as possible when you go to the strop!

    I've gone down to 3k Naniwa and I must say that was about the limit of how low I'll go.
