    Default Strop Conditioning

    I'm gonna be getting my first strop soon, its one of the basic razor/strop combos from straightrazordesign.com. Anyhow, I can't seem to find this on the wiki.
    Does a strop need to be conditioned or broken-in in any way before you attempt to strop your razor for the fist time?

    The SRD ones need NO conditioning

    And the Bridle (if you go with that one) is my favorite... But all their strops are GREAT items

    However, a great way to speed up break in time is to take the strop, pull it semi-taut, and just rub the palm of your hand over it until your hand is quite warm, and the strop is retaining heat... At least, that's the time frame I use... The palm oil is all the conditioning an SRD or TM strop ever really need. Just give them a good rubbing 2 or 3 times a week, and they'll see you through with flying colors
