Thread: What is the Strop Conditioner

I have purchased a strop and would like to know
what is the conditioner that is used on the strop?

Mink oil or neetsfoot oil. A 50/50 mix of lanolin and glycerin will do the job. Tony also sells a strop dressing that was $5 per bottle last time I checked.

It's a small machine about the size of a microwave and through which you run your strop on a biweekly basis. If you call 1-888-stropme right now, you can get this remarkable machine delivered to your door for only 12 easy payments of...

Just kidding. I really don't have a clue (many would say truer words were never spoken), but your strop provider ought to be able to answer that question for you.

If yours is a vintage stop, saddle soap gently applied and wiped with a clean cloth will help clean and condition the leather. Shaving lather will work similarly.
