Straight Razor Sharpening/Honing

His advice is:

"What grit of hone to start on depends on how much the bevel needs to be worked.
the gist of it is:
1000 grit: complete bevel rebuild
4000 grit: will remove some steel, but slowly
8000+ grit: polishing

Using a pasted strop with a straight razor.

Pasted strops are used to polish the bevel of a razor and don't actually remove steel like hones do. They can certainly and easily help make a razor super sharp, but will never remove nicks or blunting."
