Hey everyone.

I have a beautiful premium I strop from SRD. the leather is fantastic, really like the feed back i get. makes it super easy to have a light touch and really feel you are stropping correctly. however when i try the linen side (i upgraded to linen from the matched webbing) i have a MUCH more difficult time feeling feedback, and i fear i am messing up my edge on the linen, or soon will.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for stropping on linen vs leather? Is it possible to "condition" the linen to perhaps make is a more user friendly surface?

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciate all the replies i get when i post on here.

James
