Good day all -
I have managed to clean up and use a few old strops in the past - often losing some of the linen sides as they are just too worn and frayed, but i enjoy getting them back to use, even if its just a spare leather piece.
Please can anyone share any tips for the suede secondary leather strop - I have an older japanese strop with this as a second. For the main leather, I have used saddle soap and leather conditioner quite well. Although it feels and looks like it needs 'hydrating' - wetting and massaging in some oily conditioner doesnt seem to be logical or the way to go for me on the suede piece, but i dont know
i have a couple pics attached - the bottom where it was held is the worst and both sides shown. Thank you
