riedog,

The TI Pate De Rasoir comes as a hard crayon.

One of the problems is applying it to smooth leather surfaces, or indeed the 'suede' finished TI paddles is it either tends to clump into 'sticky' patches, or goes like eraser crumbs.

I have had the best results appying it to linen or canvas - something with texture that the paste can get stuck into !

After application, the strop is somewhat 'sticky' !

Heating the crayon & the strop substrate aids the application.

However, when applied to the strop, it does a good job.

10 - 20 laps gets the job done nicely.

For convenience however, I would stick with the usual CrOx or diamond products.

Why not try it and see if you like it ?

Have fun !

Best regards

Russ
