I mean, with perfect stropping, the edge wouldn't be getting hit at all, right? By perfect I mean a very taught strop and very light perfect strokes. With imperfect stropping (more realistic), where the edge is in fact hit, wouldn't the very light abrasion of the linen/leather eventually round the point where the two bevels meet, resulting in a sort of rounded bevel (but not necessarily rounded edge) ?
