Stropping

IMPORTANT: follow the instruction for applying the diamond paste on the strops - you only need just a little bit of paste on the strops, otherwise it is wasted 

• the paste lasts for a long time, I sharpen quite a bit and I find the paste lasts for several months
• the strops are quite delicate - use great care when using them, they damage easily
• I strop from front to back - this works well for me
• stopping back to front is also possible
• make sure to move in a constant upward motion when you strop                                                                                                            - If you move downward or in a straight motion at all you will nick or cut the strops 
• stropping is a new concept for me, I think of it as ‘waxing’ the edge 
• the difference stropping makes is huge
