    No baby oil or mineral on a plain strop.

    I rubbed the strop with my hand everyday to transfer body oil to the strop. When that isn't enough I use a bit of mink oil.

    The baby oil won't hurt a razor it's what I use. It is just mineral oil with fragrance. I would never ever use it on my strop!!!

    I concur with above use the baby oil on razor but not the strop. I use mink oil very sparingly on my strop.

    baby oil works well on your razor if you can get over a smell. strops i just rub them with my hand.
