This compound is applied with the goal of reducing the width of the edge without the formation of a foil-edge burr. Loaded stropping tends to produce a micro-convex edge, meaning it's shaped a little bit like a teardrop, where it curves outwards from a straight angle the farther away from the vertex the edge goes. -## Strop material +The effect of stropping happens quickly, within 3-30 laps, and 10 laps being the minimum needed to achieve the desired effect. Stropping past 30 achieves minimal change, and stopping past the hundreds may introduce a burr again. +## Strop Material +There are a variety of stropping materials available for use, common materials include leather, denim, newspaper, washcloth, and balsa wood. + +## Compound material +### Chromium Oxide +Chromium Oxide (green, waxy substance)
