    Anyone think they mixed CroOx with the wax?

    I think that that is a very reasonable line of thought. Although it could just be dye.

    Strop on it and see what happens.

    I suppose if it were, it would get you a "realedge'!

    What can I say. I like a little shaving porn in the morning to get the old self moving. Why add a layer, no matter how pretty.

    That cleaned up very well!! May have to do some experimentation now.

    I have a Realedge Russian leather and linen strop and it is one of my favorites. The linen is white (well, several shades off-white) and the leather is a tough draw as RL often is. The back of the leather has a pebble-textured reddish synthetic sharpening material attached to it. Works fairly well although I have no idea what it is.

    I suppose I am guilty of indulging myself with some 'pretties' . Gotta have SOMETHING!
