You use a paddle, yes? Probably far less deleterious on one of those than a hanging strop ... all the same it will be rounding the bevel to some extent, which means the razor really needs honing more frequently. Short answer: yes, but if it's working ... your call.Hyperborean said:Could you tell if such kind of practice significantly shortens the life span of a razor?

Hyperborean said:I have decided to "experiment" a little, I am going to stop using chromium oxide for some time to see what is the difference. I will only use TI sharpening alumina oxide diamond paste. Yesterday I stropped (more like honed on the TI paddle strop using moderate pressure) the razor on mentioned paste until I was sure there is no rounding of the edge (due to previous use of CrOx) present, then I stropped it on opposite leather side and since it was not as sharp as I wanted I did a few more laps on that sharpening paste with very light pressure- after this the razor cut cleanly through a hair in silence and without any resistance. So the edge is very sharp now. I will see how smooth is next time when I shave. For interested I will report how the shaving goes

Hyperborean said:Hm this is interesting, I was accused of being so very arrogant by a french member and now I am being taught what is edge rounding ... Anyway what you seem to forget is the very nature of specific abrasive material. Diamond particles are different (sharper) than rounded CrOx particles aren't they? so sharper particles mean there can be much less rounding of the edge because it cuts cleanly through every particle metal on its path... so it's not all about the size (sounds familiar? :lol: )... meant excessive wear caused DIRECTLY by CrOx not hones and again I have to explain for some who didn't read my previous post, I...there is really no need to hone a quality TI new steel razor more than twice per year

having to go use hones more often due to over use of crox or bad stropping is a effect directly by crox. next you will tell me the earth is flat

I have an impression that some folks here type their messages from some special institution where despite the fact their freedom of movement is restricted have access to the internet.. .listen I am saying this for n.th time LOUD AND CLEAR : I DO NOT HAVE A SPECIAL PROBLEM WITH EDGE ROUNDING FREQUENTLY USING CHROMIUM OXIDE...SO I DO NOT NEED TO TAKE MY RAZOR TO THE HONES MORE THAN COUPLE OF TIME PER YEAR IF EVEN THAT...GOT THAT CLEARLY NOW

PS: there is much more metal residue noticeable due to use on Chroium oxide than on Naniwa 8k SS for example
