I have one unrelated question about stropping. I have a two sided leather suede (both sides) paddle one side I lightly rubb with diamond paste. I do not have a leather strop. My understanding was that you can do it one way or the other. But I find most people use leather. Is it really necessary ?
I might be misunderstanding,,
But I am reading 1 side Diamond
1 side Suede Leather
If I am reading that right then the Suede is fine for everyday stropping as long as it is smooth.. ie: no damage
