I have never stropped on a pasted hanging strop. I have a spare 60mm wide denim strop and some strop wax so thought I would give it a go to see how it performs. I have been told that the strop wax is a petroleum based wax infused with the rare-earth Cerium (Ce). Not cheap at about USD 1k per kg.
The Strop Wax (about 5g)
I have the instructions on how to apply the wax to the strop. Lightly rub some wax on the middle of the strop full width over about 50mm of its length. Then use the spine of a SR to distribute the compound over the full length of the strop.
Having never had experience with a pasted hanging strop, how to I strop with it, like how often, how many laps and what pressure to use and any other tips?
The SR I will be using on this pasted strop is of high carbon steel previously finished on diamond pasted balsa.
