Thread: To paste or not to paste?

I paste the back fabric side if my strop. I use CO it has worked well for me so far! I do 10 rounds on the pasted side. 25 on the fabric. And finish it on the leather with 50. I use a hart steel 6/8 sq point.

I have a dedicated paste strop. You should too . Of course, some balsa sanded flat on a bit of hardwood is a bit cheaper way to go until you decide what medium you like most.
