I have just picked up my equipment and I have a little questiuon..
The Rindleder Sollingen strop has a white backside, wich according to DOVO homepage consists of "hanf"(probably german for something) i dont know what this means but i assume that this is the course side of the strop, to be used before the leather side???
It also appears thaat this side is covered with some sort of pouder of some sort.

Next question i have is Pressure.
How much pressure is one to excert to the razor while stropping?
Is it good enough to let the razor's own weigh do the job or does one need to apply pressure as well?

Is there a difference in pressure used on linen/canvas than that wich is used on leather side of the (hanging)strop

Thanks in advance
