Thread: Do you really need to cloth strop ?

Debate about that too. I've gone back and forth with more and with less. For a long time I did 50 and 50 linen/leather. Than I began doing 30 and 30. I know guys who do less whose opinion I respect but here again it is a matter of experimentation for each individual. Stick with a number for awhile and if you think you need more or less try that for awhile. Just IMHO.
