I have a hanging strop with fine grained leather on one side, rough leather on the other side and then a poly strop with differing texture on each side.
Does the poly strop do anything different than a linen or canvass strop? I think of all the non-leather strops as just drying and cleaning, straightening up the blade a bit before hitting the leather. Is there is actual difference in the results between those different (non-leather) materials?
