In my book, a little linen action can smooth the edge a bit, but not too much. I finish with a Nakayama, and don't notice much difference in shave quality when finishing on linen or linen->leather....

I thought so too, until I started varying my pressure when stropping after honing and noticed a significant difference in shave quality.

Gawd, another facet to the shaving conundrum.:o

Interesting... If I get the wrong feeling draw (does that make sense?) for a given razor in my stable, I do mess with the pressure on the strop until I get the draw I expect for a shave ready edge....
