new paddle strop from Tony
Just got more stuff and naturally I've got more questions. Sorry. Just got a new Heirloom Horsehide/Latigo 3 1/4" Paddle Strop from the well shaved gentleman store and the directions on the item discription say
Start on the Red Latigo for extra draw to quickly align the razor's edge then finish on the velvety Horsehide surface.
but the printed instructions that came with the strop say
The dark, oily finish leather is designed for daily stropping as described above. The light colored leather is natural finish smooth leather designed to hold fine abrasive pastes.
now I already have a 3 1/4" paddle strop tan on both sides for abrasive pastes and I wanted to make sure if the lighter leather on the other side of this one was or wasn't the same tan leather used for pastes.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated
