    The name of the process where an edge is refined on leather is burnishing. There are some pics around here somewhere showing the refining of the edge as you strop. IIRC, butch harner posted them, but I can't find them right now...!

    I don't think plain leather strops are aggressive enough to leave any kind of noticeable burr on the razor - as long as the spine of the razor stays on the strop of course
