    Default Stropping - Which side do I use?

    I'm very new to straight razor shaving. So far i've only done it twice and my face looks like Edward Scissorhands face. Practice makes perfect though. I was going to strop but the strop has two types of surfaces one is linen and the other is leather. The leather was two sides though and i'm not sure which one to use. Can anyone tell me if I have to use the rough side or the soft side of the leather surface?
