Use the linen before the leather and after shaving do the same to clean the blade. As to paste if it's your only strop I wouldn't put any on it, paste are not mandatory and some don't use them. Tc
I have only used the linen on the back of the strop. Thanks for the help.
There have been many threads on this topic. I suggest you browse the strop forum.
Like TC said if its you only strop don't paste it. Do your strop a favor and just get a length of wood about the size of a strop but can be smaller and cut up some old jeans and glue it down on the wood, trim the hanging parts off when the glue dries and just paste that. make sure you roll out the wrinkles.;)
