Hello, I am using TI paste and I am finding that if I use it after every shave, I actually get a bad edge from a decent edge.
I am assuming that coming off a stone with a decent edge, a paste is only used once or twice, and only a clean leather strop after.
I am wondering if after a paste is used if it is necessary to use a clean leather strop immediately after using a paste.
I realize that everyone does different things and ways of going about stropping. I also can blame the quality of metal on the razors I am experimenting on, and also my technique.
At any rate, I have been getting some good edges and decent shaves but to keep that going has not been consistent, especially once I started using paste. I have no problem going back to the stones and starting over which has been with good results.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. It is always good to hear what you experienced guys find as a golden rule. Thanks.
