Base for stropping, what do you use, and why?
Contemplating adding a pasted strop to the arsenal, and reading up on it.
I see people using CroX on linen, CBN on leather, Diamond spray on felt...
Tell me oh wise men of the cloth (and/or leathers)...
What have been your favorite bases for your pastes, and what made that choice superior to the others?
