Bench/paddle vs.hanging strop
Ok, so I've read here http://straightrazorpalace.com/strop...stropping.html, all about the differences in stropping and pressure when doing so. My question is, doesn't this all get negated (or mostly) with the use of a paddle or bench strop? And if so, is there a reason to use a hanging strop vs. the bench strop. I currently use a bench strop. It seems to suit me just fine. And it seems as though it takes a lot more practice to be proficient with the use of a hanging strop. All that being said, the logical question is why? If I can achieve a better edge with the hanging strop, I'd like to know. If its all about the same, I'll stick with what I have. I didn't see a specific thread that discussed this but I'm sure it was debated somewhere at some point. Thoughts?
