I got my strop from srd and have a few questions...
first, what order and which side(s) do I use? It has a leather piece with one side smooth and the opposite rough. The other attached piece is a nylon cross stitched double sided piece.
second, do I need any "grit paste" or other additions to my strop?
third, how often do I need to apply Camellia Oil to my blades? After each shave, or only when I dont use one for a while...
lastly, is it a good idea to strop only before a shave or during and after also?

thank you all for the info given so far!!
