Just need some info on stropping on linen. I bought an old vintage Russian strop off of ebay. The linen says extra heavy Scottish linen its i believe from the 30s. Its not the typical fire hose, but its pretty thick its about 1/8" thick. Ive only stropped using a dull practice razor.

Man this thing is not a fine weave, its kinda rough/bumpy and loud. When i mean loud its zip zip zip ect.. I kinda afraid to put my shaver on it, because its so rough. Will it ruin my edge, because of the roughness? I getting pretty decent at stropping im about a year in now.
