I do the same to smooth out the edge after my Naniwa 12K finisher. Different strokes for different folks. You have to experiment to see what works for you.I used to use CrOx paste on the canvas side of a cheap hanging strop. However I found the edge to be too crisp. I much prefer the edge when finished on a Naniwa 12k.
Yes I agree, I haven't had much experience with pastes. It is something that interests me, I also admit to failing at the first hurdle. X-pattern on a cheap canvas strop. I spent most my time learning to hone and I now enjoy a Welsh slate or a Naniwa 12k as a finisher.I do the same to smooth out the edge after my Naniwa 12K finisher.
