As suggested together with the Dovo I have also bought a paddle strop. I have looked through a few videos and one or two of them seemed to be stropping the blade with a very shallow angle. Does not one strop at the same angle as the blade would be used on the face? I would be very appreciative if someone could provide a video link to what they think would be the best way to strop. I certainly don't want to go down the wrong road here and naff it up from day one.
Oh and is any form of paste required or just straight on to the strop?
Also like to ask what is the best way to care for the strop itself. Is any form of wax or oil necessary? I do have some very nice Mink oil which I use on boots and wondered if this might suffice.
Again thanks in advance.
