 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.
 
-It was generally noted that when stropping with a very fine compound (eg, 0.25 micron), a small but consistent burr would form. When stropping with a coarse compound, a larger burr would occur, but one that formed unevenly. To achieve the best of both worlds, it's suggested that you start stropping with a coarse compound, then move to a fine compound.

+I can't find the exact source, but it seems that denim and a loaded leather strop with between 0.5-0.25 micron compound would be ideal.
 ## Strop Material
 There are a variety of stropping materials available for use, common materials include leather, denim, newspaper, washcloth, and balsa wood.
