Thanked: 0what side of the strop?!
Hi all. i've been DE shaving for about a year now, with a view to progressing to straight. i've just received a dovo extra wide russian hanging strop in the post (no canvas, just leather). I already have a dovo best quality 5/8 and I'm ready to start practicing my stropping action. (i know it probably needs honed too - i don't intend to shave with it yet!) problem is, after looking through the wikis and various youtube videos/google searches etc, i'm still really unclear about which side of the leather you use - grained shiny skin side, or smooth dull flesh side? don't want to damage the edge...would appreciate any advice.
