    Default Pasted Stropping?

    Just got my first pasted/sprayed strop. For those of you who tape the razor spine while honing, I was wondering if you also tape while stropping on pasted or sprayed strops?

    If it is a hard balsa strop I might but not on leather or felt. Just IMHO
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I have a paddle strop with CroOx on it and right after the hones I strop with the tape still on..not sure how much it matters but the way I look at it is it keeps that angle from honing with tape as minute as it may be.

    Cool

    I am with Jimmy on this..

    Tape comes off,,,
    I have never actually used Balsa myself, so I would probably want to feel the flex before deciding.. my first thought would be to leave the tape on though if I were using Balsa

    +1, take it off on a hanging strop and leave it on for a solid/paddle strop.
