    The strop says Horse Hide not Horse Shell or Shell. You've sanded through the grain of the leather. Basically you're on your way to a "suede" finish.

    While the draw is different, a suede strop can work well and be desirable. Two of my favorite strops are suede or had the grain sanded off.

    Ok, thanks! It's smoother than suede now.
