Bare felt stropping

[moobe]

Is stropping on bare felt before leather comparable to linen stropping before leather?
If so, is it advised to do it before every shave?

Wow that question takes me back a few years

When SRD first came out with their Hanging Felt strop, I tested it before I pasted mine up with Diamonds to see how the plain felt worked in place of Linen, I even tried it in place of Leather..

IMHO in worked fine in place of the Linen strop, but I still wanted my Leather strop after it...

i think it works great in place of the linen. When i use my paddle strop it has the felt

Been stropping on the hard felt part of my hanging strop and then on the leather part before every shave for a year now. So yea it takes the place of linen.

moobe,

I have used the hard-felt panel on my Neil Miller modular strop for pre-leather stropping with great success

Have fun !
