Strop paste? How and should I?
Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice and I was hoping some of you more experienced shavers could shine a little light on something that I don’t really know anything about....
I’ve been straight shaving for about a year or so now, my razors are honed and I have my stropping technique correct to maintain them, I take every care I can to keep them at their best. Now however, I’m wondering about strop paste; the ins, outs and how to use them as I’m blind to this. I’ve ofcoutlrse heard a lot of talk concerning paste but like I said I have no idea where to start, so....
Should I look at using strop paste?
What paste should I use to prolong the period between honing?
What side of my strop should I use?
And how and when should do I use paste?
I know that’s a lot to answer but I’d certainly like people views and opinions, the good, bad and the ugly.
Thank you in advance
Mark.
