Hi, thanks for your question. Smooth leather for polishing low-angle edges: The smooth side of the leather strop is excellent for providing a final polishing and refining of the edge. This is particularly useful for straight razors, which often have a low-angle edge. The smooth side helps in achieving a razor-sharp finish and a keen cutting edge, making it suitable for delicate and precision tasks like shaving. Suede leather for stropping a beveled edge: The suede side of the leather strop can be used for the initial stropping of blades with a beveled edge. The coarser texture of the suede helps in leveling the edge, removing small nicks, and improving the overall sharpness before moving on to the smoother side for polishing. Some people may prefer starting with the suede side and finishing with the smooth side, while others may primarily use the smooth side and only occasionally switch to the suede side for heavier stropping when needed. Both sides of the double-sided leather strop have their purposes, and the choice between them can be based on the condition of the blade, the desired level of sharpness, and personal preferences. As with any sharpening or stropping technique, practice, experimentation, and experience will help you find the most effective approach for your specific blades and sharpening goals.
