 Strop Pastes

Strop Pastes

Strop pastes come in two types, abrasive and non-abrasive. It is important to remember that pastes should be used only on leather strops that are reserved for that purpose. Never use different grades of paste on the same leather strop.


Types of pastes are as follows :-

YELLOW

This is a non-abrasive strop paste For the ‘everyday use' hanging Leather strop. Its purpose it to maintain the quality of the leather by preventing it drying out and cracking.

Yellow strop paste
GREEN

This is a coarse abrasive strop paste for use with either a hanging leather strop, the green side of a hand held leather strop or
the leather side of a hand held leather and honing stone strop. Green strop paste must never be used with the ‘everyday use' strop.
This must be used only when the edge of the razor begins to dull.

Stropping with an abrasive paste can extend the period of time between honing.

BLACK-RED

This is a two-part set of abrasive pastes.

The red is the coarser of the two with the fine coarse black used for polishing the edge.
