    Default Balsa strops

    Hay all

    How have you all found best use of balsa strop?
    I'm really happy with hanging thin balsa with course sanded face. I think it was gemstar who found that 40 laps on balsa post shave keeps an edge going for a long time. Thankfully this has helped me get past a handful of shaves before returning to hones.
    With the corse finish balsa as light as possible seems to help me.
    I wonder if lenen will have more consistent results in the future, I bet there is something I'm missing as balsa seems way more effective for me.
    I also use paste on leather whenever I want sharper.
