Hey, I am a newb(if you couldn't tell) and I have the Lee Valley paddle strop. Now, I am a knife collector so one side has chromium oxide and the other is bare leather and I use it to hone my knives as well as my razor. Should I get a normal straight razor strop or will this be ok? I've been using it for 2 months now. The leather is kind of hard, so that is why I ask.
