Linen is not necessary but a lot of us use it.
Be sure to strop just BEFORE! the shave, 30-60 roundtrip laps. Stropping after the shave is a debatable practice.
Hope this helps,

I think using the linen before the leather may reduce the number of strokes necessary on the leather and thereby prolong the shaveability of the edge somewhat. I like the linen in moderation. I do about a dozen on the linen (20 if you're new and going slowly like you should be) and about 30 on the leather.

I love the sound of a finely honed razor on Tony's latigo leather....sounds so sexy....sometimes I strop more than I need to just to hear that sound.
