I have seen time and again those that know about honing to check the stria left by stropping alone. Very few of us would shave straight from the stone so in reality you have likely altered it from your first shave. To some degree your linen and leather strops have affected the edge.

Pasted strops will change your edge from the first use. It is almost equivalent to using another finishing stone fir a couple of laps. How all this affects the edge varies depending on what you use and on what substrate.
