Regarding good to higher end strops does the type of fabric matter that's attached to the leather strop? Looking on SRD there is a whole bunch of options and looking around here I haven't found where one type of fabric is prefered over the other.

Paste: If I understand right different paste are used to liven up the edge instead of going back to the hone? And one wouldn't want to strop everyday with a pasted strop, correct?

This straight razor stuff is like an itch you can't scratch. I blame y'all and B&B for this. Good thing I've been working a bit of overtime lately cause I'm about to jump in with both feet.

Thanks guys,
Matt
