I wasn't going to try the diamond pasted balsa method because I believed it couldn't possibly be significantly better than my results with lap film. But I eventually gave the balsa a try (I was just curious about it), and was surprised by how much better the shaves were with the diamond pasted balsa. I honestly did not realize razors could be that sharp. So I'm a convert now. I do exactly what you do - strop on balsa after every shave. It just takes a couple minutes. And now I never have to re-hone a razor maintained by the diamond balsa stropping. LOL, I am totally spoiled now, and could never go back to another method... not after experiencing shaving with the razors stropped on diamond balsa.
No kidding - I had to get six more GD66’s to have something to hone!+1
