I'm not sure if this is something for the strop forum or the honing forum. I'm new to the straight razor world but having a blast so far. I had what might be a stupid question. I've noticed different materials being used for pasted strops. Some are leather, some are felt, and some are balsa. Any thoughts on what works best if the plan is a .5 micron diamond compound, maybe a .25 micron, and a chromium? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
