What iv noticed is my hanging strop works better then pasted then my balsa but I could be wrong I just think it being hanging allows for a better result with paste but that is subjective some maybe say it isn’t some like me think it is but it’s best of you try these things for your self
I see where I have gone wrong I would be using 1 u diamond not 5 u crox crayonPasted hanging strops and pasted paddles have been used for generations with only meh results. Compare them to a proper Method edge and you will never again consider that pasted leather might have any conceivable use. Believe me, I have tried pretty much any publicly shared method of making a razor sharp. Or keeping it so.
It is easy to use the balsa incorrectly and think that it is no better. Follow The Method. Carefully and exactly, and you will not be disappointed. Fail to follow the directions exactly, and you probably will, and you will wonder why such a fuss over just one more way to make a razor sharp.

I put compound on the canvas and it works really really wellI would never put any compound on a leather strop. That is why God made
Balsa.
Be sure to wash and wipe your razor before putting it on the leather to avoid cross contamination.I put compound on the canvas and it works really really well
