Another question. Do I need to get oil for it, or would keeping the blade dry and away from moisture be enough?
For sure get an extra leather pad. My first strop I cut up pretty bad by the time I replaced it. Im glad it wasnt a nice one It shouldnt take too long to get the technique down. I have some mineral oil, I dont use it that often but perhaps I should.
