Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for a speedy reply. I don't have a strop/paddle for pastes so would be buying a paddle from SRD to give this fix a try. I'll also focus on shaving technique! I know from golf and skeet that most often errors are found in technique and not with the equipment Old habits die hard though! It's just too easy to blame the equipment!

From what I've read on this forum there are people who use pasted paddles for maintenance from time to time so it seems like I'll see value from the investment in a new paddle over time.

In your opinion, would it be best to paste the smooth or rough side of the paddle?

Thanks,
David
