Curious as how to paste the side that's intended for the paste on this strop:
Thiers-Issard Double-Sided Travel Strop w/Case
Razor Strops, Hones, and Accessories

'...has two different leather surfaces - One intended for use with Sharpening Pastes, the second a Smooth Russian Finished Leather surface for finishing and pre-shave stropping.'

The non-smooth side is pretty rough... so do I follow the same guidelines of mixing the paste in a little strop dressing before applying?

Appreciate your insight.
