Thanked: 267I have a shaving kit that I take on trips and inside I wrap a 2 1/2 inch strop around the parameter of the kit. I have recently been using one of the felt pads from Straight Razor Designs and coated it with 0.125 Cubic Boron Nitrate. 20 laps every 5 days is keeping two of my razors going for over 3 weeks now. I strop but I would think that if one were to just give it about 5 laps before shaving it would be all you need. It is a lot smoother than using diamond paste. If you are satisfied with Chromium Dioxide you could use that on the felt. It does not take up a lot of space.
Take Care,
Richard
