still learning here...

it's not clear to me how to progress on to stropping once i have come to my conclusion that i have honed enough

i am beginning to feel that going straight to undressed leather stropping for maybe 10-20 rounds is correct. or am i off? is stropping post a hone likewise a process of gradually going from most coarse to least? i.e. should i be then going to green/red paste on the paddle strop and then on to the undressed leather? i know people will say "it depends", but i'm a newbie, i need direction.

also, i purchased some great razors off of ebay from a very nice guy who i emailed with to look for some advice. he claimed he never used the linen side of the strop. he went right from his stones to the undressed leather. should the linen side be part of a regular maintainence routine or only used after the blade seems to have dulled?

what process do you folks follow once you are done on the hones?
