My apologies if this question has already been answered. I searched the forums and checked the wiki, and the only thing I could find on the subject was the strop maintenance & repair wiki page that says the strop will lose "most if not all of it's functionality." I'm assuming that refers to fairly large wrinkles?

I ordered a Jemico strop from amazon, from one of those 3rd party vendors. I guess the guy that packaged it thought it was some sort of fancy belt for your dick or something, because he just folded it in half and shoved it in a padded envelope. So, now the strop has very tiny wrinkles where the guy folded it (not quite big enough to see, but I can feel them when I rub my fingers over the surface), and the leather in that area is softer than the surrounding leather.

Is my strop dead? Is it still usable? And, is there any way to get the wrinkles out?
