Less is more. You don't want to apply a "coat". really just a very light dusting so to speak. The whole strop should have clear areas without the paste. It's better to add too little and apply a tad more later then apply too much and have to figure out how to remove it.

Gotcha
On the smooth side or the rough? I`m thinking smooth has got to be better. More even contact and the rough stuff comes before any sort of paste. Am I right?

side for finish stropping the razor.
If this is a second spare paste-able strop...
some put put a coarser paste on the back and a fine
paste on the front. The coarse side can be
lightly sanded with something like 1000 or 2000
wet dry paper on a dowel or block.Last edited by niftyshaving; 07-07-2010 at 02:31 AM.
