I've been shaving with str8ts and honing as well and just rec'd the chromium oxide spray from SRD. Unfortunately the sprayer is not working and I would like to apply the liquid to a hanging linen strop. Directions say apply evenly but not to saturate. I've poured a small amount into a shallow dish after shaking vigorously and the chroium oxide suspension seems very diluted. I've posted in another area for some assistance, but I'm new to forums. What would be the best way to apply this to a hanging linen or for that manner any strop? The liquid from the dish seems very watery and I've applied some already, but for some reason I don't think there is enough of the chromium oxide suspended in the water. any suggestions?
