Okay, let's make that "ignorant" question. But there is at least a cure for ignorance, I know of none for dumb!

I have noticed a significant difference in "draw" between my SRD Prem. I leather strop and the SRD Prem. III buffalo strop. I had heard this, but the feeling is really striking. I now know what "draw" feels like!

Is "draw" really just more friction, or is it simply a different texture with the same friction?

If "draw" is due to "more friction" does it follow that one would need fewer strokes on a strop with lots of draw compared to one without much draw? Or is draw in the end just a matter of what one individual thinks feels right?
