Thread: Hanging Pasted Strop

Good progression and that was what I feared going to .10 CBN.

I too do a 1.0, .50 and .25 CBN progression post Thurigan finishing stone and get good results. My bevels are stria free like Matts in the YouTube video, but my edges last 2 weeks just stropping on Kanayama Cordovan strop, before refreshing on .25 CBN. The edge is still sharp but looses just a little crispness after 2 weeks. I though .10 might be too much.

Try just going to .25 and see what you think.

Marty, did you get my PM?

I have an old 2 1/2" leather strop that I put Crmox on the rough [back side] and .25uM diamond slurry on the smoth side
After I get done with My PHIG 15K[?] I do about 25 careful strokes on both the Crmox and .25uM.
Still deciding if it's the best way to go, I'll give the combo a few more weeks of trial before saying that procedure is the bees knees or not!

YMMV

There was a time that TM made a dual Ex-long leather strop specifically made for Pastes in fact they were stamped with the .50 or .25 if you wanted I have one of those not sure if they are still offered anywhere else now.. I have purchased a few #827's and I drop the linen and make my own Dual leathers now..

The CBN works awesome on Roo leather if you are into using it, I like it but I ain't in love with it
