Strop Paste

Messaggio da Aldebaran »

After completing the sharpening a razor by hand on stone, often are used to the use of pastes strop to finish polishing the edge.
Spread out evenly on the pastry cloth or leather *, movements to be implemented are the same as practice in filling the razor's edge on leather or cloth before shaving.
Here is a table indicative of the strop pastes on the market, with its grit and abrasive nature of its ligands.

Stangen strop pastes, Dovo and Puma:

Green paste (the more 'common)

Abrasive: Chromium Oxide

Binder: Wax, or nonexistent (abrasive powder)

Grit: 0.5 microns and 1 micron (optimal versions for finishing).
Puma Grit Pasta Verde, Dovo or sale of Woodcrafters:
5-8 micron (impure).

Red pulp:

Abrasive: Iron Oxide-Ferric Oxide

Binder: Wax, or nonexistent (abrasive powder)

Grit :3-5 microns


Pasta Brown:

Abrasive: Iron Oxide-Ferric Oxide (Oxidation Variant)

Binder: nonexistent (abrasive powder-This explains the different oxidation)

Grit :3-5 microns


Black Pasta:

Abrasive: Iron Oxide-Oxide Ferrous

Binder: Wax or nonexistent (abrasive powder)

Grit microns :1-3

Pasta Blue:

Abrasive: cobalt oxide (somewhat toxic)

Binder: Wax or nonexistent (abrasive powder)

Grit: Unknown

Pasta Yellow / White:

Abrasive: Zinc Oxide

Binder: wax or non-existent (abrasive powder)

Grit: Unknown, but very, very end.


Cerium oxide:

Abrasive: cerium oxide, and 'also in the binding stones Arkansas

Grit: 0.25 microns

Binder: Wax or nonexistent (abrasive powder)

Diamond Paste:

Binder-abrasive: diamond paste

Grit: 3-0-micron, 10 micron

Diamond paste Spray

Binder-abrasive: diamond paste

Grit :1-0 .50 to 0, 25 micron

The common charcoal can 'provide past strop on, another finish of the edge, so' as the ink on newspapers.


The splint and 'a timber filled with silicon inside, which is useful after the stone passed.

Pasta Josmon and Castilla:

Abrasive: Aluminum Oxide (common abrasive stones synthetic)

Binder: Wax

Grit: Unknown, but thanks to the hardness of aluminum oxide, with it you can easily remove the specks of oxide from steel razors.

Final notes:
The pasta should be used in succession to get a sharp edge, delicate skin and able to shave deeply.

During the process of removal of swarf and grinding wheel on the maker of razors and blades or the grinder, use more 'wheels with different abrasive', the more 'abrasive, at least as abrasivaper remove the scratches left from before has removed the chip.

The same process takes place with stones.

With pasta, it seems obvious that the same should happen, although experience in this case, it would be more 'useful to refer to the abrasive nature rather than its grit.
A classic example is the diamond paste, which, although very thin, leaving a rough edge in contact with skin.
It would be better then, after passing the razor on a strop treated with diamond paste, move the blade on chromium oxide or iron.
In practice, the municipality of chromium or iron oxide can be used to complete the sharpening after sharpening stone, without adding anything else, if not past the leather or canvas before shaving.
To tell the truth, gypsum and talc, used in this succession, on Molette Velcro or leather for polishing, make very thin ice sliding on the face during shaving.
