Chromium Oxide on Artificial Leather side?
Hi,
I would appreciate your advice on 2 questions I have.
1. I have a double strop with a leather strop and an artificial leather strop. Should I put a chromium oxide paste on the back of the artificial leather side or the leather side in order to refresh my razor?
2. When doing regular stropping, I use the artificial leather side first then go to the leather. The artificial leather is my canvas substitute. Do you think it's a waste of time or that it can damage my razor in any way? The artificial leather feels much more coarse than the leather and is actually quite satisfying to strop on it.
I was on a budget and just starting with straights so bought the below from Amazon.

Thank you for your advise.
