Review on πŸ”ͺ Sharpening and Polishing Compounds for Leather Strop by Richard Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the versatile set

Good for sharpening pocket knives. I love the variety of tools, it's good for people like me who have never tried this style of sharpening and aren't sure what grit they want. So far I've settled on my fine grit whetstone, then switched to paracord with some green compound, then paracord with red, then regular paracord. Still working on my technique, can't get sharp enough to shave my face with a self-sharpening blade, but arm hair can be shaved like mowing grass where arm hair (just a fine block) used to be shaved. was doable but difficult and irritated the skin. I'm going to try and make some whetstones out of this material on cardboard to use with the clip and guide.
