    Granted I'm a super newb...but I always thought of linen stropping (plain linen) as a post-shaving activity. Basically to dry out the razor and POSSIBLY heat it up a bit with friction. I do avoid pasted strop after hearing from a few people how a lifetime of pasted stropping (esp. done imperfectly) leads to the kind of funky shapes you see on super old razors sometimes.
