First, I would like to say how enjoyable reading this forum is for me.
I bought a new dovo, and have shaved a couple times. I have a strop that my barber gave me, but it looks a little dry. I rubbed some bick 4 on it in an attempt to soften and revive it. The strop also has a linen strop that appears gummy. I am wondering if the leather should get some other conditioner, and if the linen can be salvaged. The strop is 2.5", and reads "dubl duck". I would also like to know what I should look for in the way of a hone. Thanks in advance!
Mike
