Leather is more porous and the fibres are more widely spaced. Cowhide provides a well rounded go to leather for stropping & is perfectly suited for Sheffield Steel & Stainless Steel.
A latigo nubuck leather is used for the backside of the strop, as it outperforms the suede side of Cowhide. It has an excellent nap and smoothness resulting in a superior choice for suede stropping. Well suited for loading compound and blade cleaning.
