So, better late to the party than not at all, right? Today I picked up a linen shirt and double glass pane picture frame at the thrift store for 3 bucks. I plan to cut and attach the linen to the two glass panes, and attach each of those to wood bases and put a .5 and .25 on and - viola! a homemade bench pasted strop setup. Now if only I could find quality diamond paste at the thrift store...
Seriously though, anyone ever tried a setup like this? Am I going about it all wrong?
I thought about felt instead, thoughts?
Hey guys, any experience with larry's balsa wood strop croox and ironox? work for a new stropper?
thanks
Larry's balsa works well. I used it for awhile before moving to using leather for paste.Quote:

Also both can leave a bit of a harsh edge. This can be countered most times by good stropping on untreated linen and leather.
Chrome oxide on one side and iron oxide on the other - hanging linen strop.
The without a razor mode does produce results. I have thought hard many a time about buying 8-12 more types of strops/materials, 5 or so carats worth of diamonds in various sizes, and a small crate filled with all the strop goop but have resisted and still get remarkably good shaves off of my leather!Quote:
