So I picked up my first razor early December (well ok, my wife got it for me as an early Christmas Gift), and have been enjoying my shaves ever since. SO much more relaxing, and smoother.

I received my gift from Classic Edge Shaving in Toronto, however due to the holiday season they were out of hanging strop and I was substituted a board strop. In my early use of this strop my zeal led to a few nicks and cuts. I counted up all the nick and have been minding them, and since then I have learned to not make any new ones.


I am in the process of ordering a premium 3'' wide hanging strop from C.E.S. and am considering a paste to re-task my board to a "refresher" tool. I was leaning towards a Thiers Issard Strop Paste (10,000grit). Would this be fine to use on a mildly damaged strop board?
