Hey,

I've been straight razor shaving for about 7 months now and I love it.
I'm currently using a Black Beauty strop (Australian Made) and enjoy it but I'm about to go backpacking...

I don't particularly want to use a Paddle Strop and I'm looking at purchasing a strop which looks very much like this.

It has a linen side on it and I was wondering if I'm correct in thinking that this side gives it a micro hone and the other skin-coloured side is plain leather and is used to finish.

Maybe say, 15 linen and 30 leather passes.

How far off am I people? Please set me straight.

Best Regards
Sam Murray
