Think you may be a little misinformed.
A barber doesn't sharpen a razor with leather.
They use a leather side of the 'strop' to knock off the wire feather that forms on the edge during the real sharpening process.
On a bike leather will not in and of itself wear off the powdercoat or paint.
It will do it because the leather traps and holds grit and road dirt.
Its that grit and dirt its holding on to along with a little water for lubrication that that does all the damage, not the leather.

Anyone who thinks leather sharpens steel is a douc bag. I mean really? You saw a barber stropping a blade on Bugs Bunny didn't you? Lmao. Douc bag.

Funny thread.....My HD bag came with the clear 3M sticker to protect the paint. Haven't noted if it's been worn through yet.
