Hi there,
I have just bought a second hand horsehide strop which glides beautifully with the razor. The strop itself has a shiny finish to it which feels really smooth with the ends of the leather feeling more like normal leather than hasn’t been shined and isn’t as smooth.
I have just cleaned it with sadly soap as I noticed a couple of bits of dirt that have gathered up and lint and although cleaner, I am worried that the shine won’t come back. When cleaning, I noticed my cloth had bits of leather pigment on it. It feels smooth but not as smooth as it was.
Any thoughts?
