I voted linen first then leather. This is only part of how I do it. After the leather I do an arm hair test. If i like the edge I strop on linen to remove hairs and bits of skin before putting the razor back. I never strop on leather before putting a razor back as I once read on SRP that some leather conditioners have a corrosive effect on carbon steel.
