I've wondered the same thing. I've just received a Miller strop set-up with a apprentice strop, which doesn't have a cotton/linen side, and I would hate to slice up the linen. So...couldn't the rough side be used instead, at least until it smooths out? I can see it's not as rough as the linen I have.
