I have a strop I bought about 2 years ago. Going to start using it again and wondering if I need to do anything to it.
Dovo 2" X 16" leather and canvas
Never put anything on it. Leather is still VERY soft and smooth almost like suede. I learned on this strop so there were nicks on each end I had to remove with high grit sandpaper.
When should I use the canvas side, and do I need to prepare it?
How come stropping makes noise when you see videos of it? I thought there wasn't supposed to be pressure, just rest the razor on the strop. Am I being way to light when I strop if I don't' hear anything?
