I never used it on linen. Only on balsa and suede like leather. I use the CBN coated balsa as a final polisher, the leather for use before and after shaving. Gives me a fresh from the hone feel every shave. Works a treat on both. To avoid rounding the edge I would not use it on hanging strops.

I would be inclined to go with the rounding comment on a hanging strop because CBN is very fast cutting. I have personally found that on felt I get very good results when used like a barber's hone. I do about 10 or 20 laps, depending on the razor, anytime I need to even in the middle of a shave. Works extremely well.
Take Care,

Thanks to all! Well, the felt pads look good, but the reason I'm curious about a strop is for razors w/ bad geometry that need tape--I don't want to be adding tape every other time I shave is all!
As far as linen, I'm thinking that might actually degrade the edge @ that level, so I'd probably just do CBN (as needed) & leather only. Good plan, you think?
