One of Peter's paddle strops. It's wide enough for the entire blade, so about 3" I'd guess.Re heel.What type of strop do you use? Wide or regular?
I know which paddle strop you mean.I have one of his four sided ones.Try doing a regular x pattern on it because for some reason you might just be missing that little area.Do fifty full slow runs on the leather only.See what happens.One of Peter's paddle strops.

Cheers for the advice, Jack! I'll give it a go next time I crack out the Vostok. I don't seem to be missing it with the Niazi Solingen I use so it could be more specific to this razor. The rest of the blade is hair-whittlingly sharp and has been honed recently by FergieBilly so there shouldn't be any issues. It's probably inconsistencies in my technique, in fairness! Thanks for the troubleshooting buddy.I know which paddle strop you mean.I have one of his four sided ones.Try doing a regular x pattern on it because for some reason you might just be missing that little area.Do fifty full slow runs on the leather only.See what happens.
