Thanks for the link for the 4-sided strop. Do you know of an alternate source for the diamond pastes? Those seem a bit pricey. Also, do you have any problem with rounding the edge with the strop (as opposed to using stones)? I will need to have something for sharpening to go with the razor when I send the reapiered one I have to my son.Vardeman Sneed said:A 4-sided pasted paddle strop from The Well Shaved Gentleman http://shop.thewellshavedgentleman.com/product.sc?categoryId=27&productId=124 is what I use instead of hones/stones. Mine is pasted with 3.0, 1.0 and 0.5 micron diamond Amplex, and 0.5 micron Chromium Oxide.
For myself, I am a sharpening stone fan because I already have those for my woodworking.
