All that is ever needed on a new strop for daily upkeep is the rubbing of your palm over the leather. The natural oils in your skin will keep the leather supple. Strop dressings and oils are best reserved for rejuvenating old and vintage strops that have been neglected for a great number of years. If you look up strop maintenance on the forum you will get a great many threads dealing with the subject with as many views as there are pebbles on the beach. I know what works for me, I know what works for others. You have to read, digest and decide for yourself the best path of attack at maintaining your equipment.
