Thread: Am I still the only one who puts slurry on the strop?

I normally put a tiny amount of oil on my strop (rub it on my hands than rub hands on the strop). Then I work up a slurry with my hone and slurry stone (keep in mind, this is a very fine stone). I apply tiny amounts of slurry to the strop using the slurry stone, and then work it in with my fingers, to even it out. Let dry, test a bit with your thumb to see that it feels even, and strop a few times.

After this I go to a fabric strop, and then pure leather.
