    Default To paste or not to paste...and a honing question too!

    Hi folks:

    So I have a handful of great straights and all is well with them but I feel a few are getting a bit dull and need some touching up. I always do the standard stropping before shaving and a few laps after. I have no interest in ever fully restoring a razor (at least not for the forseeable future), all I want is to maintain my current razors so, my question: should I paste up the linen side of my strop with .5 paste or should I get a whole other strop thats solely dedicated to the paste?

    Also, I was talking to Lynn about this and he said that its possible to maintain razors with a pasted strop and a 16k hone (I want a Shapton), so I'm looking to pick one up, however I have to honing experience, how can I go about the honing keeping in mind I just want to maintain a razors edge?

    Thanks!!!
