I'm not sure if this belongs in the Honing Forum or in
the Stropping Forum, but I hope that the moderator
will straighten it out for me.

I read this somewhere, but I can't find the reference
now:

"After honing the razor, proceed directly to the leather
strop, bypassing the linen."

Is this correct? And if so, what is the rationale for
doing that?

Thanks,
Paul
