I would say it will be... different. Particle shape and size is different, so you should expect to feel the difference on your face too. It is impossible to say whether “different” is good or bad for you, it depends on too many unknowns. You have to try it and see, there’s no other way. :)
I only suggested the strop because you said you were looking for the same keenness but more mellow... and the strop does that IMO.
