I am still waiting on my WE but was wondering after reading this post what the difference is in finish between the stones Tom was using and the leather strops that I ordered with my kit
Thanks

Hey Lucky,
Thanks for the phone call earlier. Here is a page showing the difference in grit size between all the stones offered: Stones and Strops Comparison You can click on the images I’ve uploaded to see a much closer view. There is a striking difference in the finish with the strops as compared to the fine grit waterstones, even in the coarser strops like the 14/10 micron set. I’ll be uploading more images as soon as I can.[/quote]
Hey Clay,
Awesome forum! What a great idea. So in your experience are you getting a better mirror polish w/ the strops than water stones 5/3.5 micron vs 3K/5K Chosera. Is it reasonable to go from the 5K water stones to the 3.5 strops?
