Why not get one of the SRD paddle strops?

They're two sided and have had great reviews!

Send Steve at the Invisible Edge an email. The guys a true gentleman and should be very helpful.

I have the same strop as you btw, and think its great as a leather strop, but not so great for pastes. I use CromOx on a hanging strop instead.

Why don't you try Tony Miller's four sided paddle strop. I hear it is top of the line.

It will be a tm paddle they are far better with nice leather my mate has one. I just thought as i'm in the uk i can get hold of ti 4 sided from steve and the bio paste but i'm not sure if i would like the ti 4 sided with the leather they use are not for me.

i have livi loom with cro ox and hanging canvas with ti rasoir pate and i have to say i get far better results from hanging strop with the TI pate compared tom the paddle. I wanted to try the new bio paste from ti i will need four sides to aply 4 hanging strops would be in the way

TI tell me that they include the 6 micron paste as it cuts very quickly and is ideal if you have a very small nick to remove that maybe doesn't warrant the hone or wish to restore the bevel somewhat. I have just been getting a Dovo En Vogue SS ready for a customer and used the Bio-Diam set-up for this. I have to say that the En Vogue is a classy looking piece but my experience is that it can be a beast to get a really good edge on - once there it's fine but getting it there can be time-consuming and before no I have had to resort to re-setting the thing completely.

Well - I tried this one on the 4-sided strop pasted with Bio-Diam, starting with 6 micron as the edge was er, a bit 'lacking' as we say here. Ten passes on the 6, then ten on the 3, 10 on the 1 micron followed by five on the 0.25 tamed it just fine and I finished it on Chromox to smooth it. Pinged the forearm hairs nicely and same with the HHT.

I am one happy user of Bio-Diam, I can tell you!
