    You more or less want a green haze to the strop. You should still be able to see the leather.

    Crox I normal give a day to dry

    All you need is just a thin coating. If you can barely see it that is enough. You don't want to turn it completely green. and you can't really rub it off I guess if that is what you mean.It gets embedded into it. You really don't need allot.

    Dear Fellow Razorheads-Applied maybe a drop of Neatsfoot oil to my finger several times after applying the Chromium Oxide from SRD and it applies much more easily now, with less coming OFF on my fingers and more going into and onto the leather. The leather strop is not saturated and should be fine in a couple of days. Surface is pretty even, but don't know if I have applied enough. Definitely not a dark green color, but the strop color is a uniform light green with a little tan "splotchyness" mixed in.
    Again, thanx again for any feedback-Gearhead

    Dear Castel33 and Aespo-Guess that I replied prior to refreshing the page. Green Haze is a perfect description Castel33! About how many strokes do you guys strop your razor on the CROX strop? Do you typically follow up with canvas or felt and then straight bridal leather? Thanx again!-Gearhead

    Go to the crox..then to your felt or linen then leather.
    As far as strikes on the crox...it should not be more than say ten to fifteen laps but they will depend on the blade on how much it tugs..

    Hey gearhead,

    Since you already have it on and it's just hazy, that's enough, as said above. After the crox strop, clean your blade on a towel to remove any residue that may be on the blade or you'll transfer it to your other strop elements, and once it's there, it's there.

    Regards,
    Howard

    Question? What do you mean by: a "prefabricated bow" on the smooth leather? Can you show a photo?
