slightly off-topic...because I'm interested in this exact thing.
what tutorial? I've been looking for a good video tutorial of how to paste a strop and even in my short time here I've learned that Lynn is a few kinds of awesome.

I saw it a while ago, I believe it's part of the Wiki content.

This paste or crayon is actually quite good. I just rub it on the linen until you start to see the color on the linen. Don't cake it on. Once it's covered, then just 10-15 very light strokes and it should wake up the razor. Actually sometimes, just 5 strokes will work, so try less first.
Have fun,

Yeah..I must agree with Lynn...don't cake it on. One time I put Chrom-Oxde. on my linen strop, and at first I didn't use enough paste...so afterwards, I put it on fairly heavy...and boy-oh-boy did I regret it. For one, it removed so much metal that it actually dulled the razor. And in fact, I could actually see the removal of the metal with every few laps. A lesson learned!

I've had a love hate relationship with CrO. I have tried it on leather and hard linen with pretty good results, but I am very content with liquid CrO painted on balsa. It has a nice feel and you can stroke it as you would your hone. As already mentioned, start with fewer strokes and light pressure, then leather strop and HHT or ST. Go again if it needs more. I can go several months this way before honing the edge again.
