I never had any trouble rinsing the Oxyclean out. Certainly not causing any scratching.

Some things I have learned about Linen, old and older. If you wash it, wash it gently and avoid bending...

Remember! A little at a time after an initial application.
My boar strops took only two applications.

There ya go. Adding moisture, rubbing a bit at a time.

I think the only place to go. You can see around the end you got a bit overzealous trying to make the stamp stand-out. Lots of quality leather conditioner, smooth glass bottle and tons of palm.
...

Yeah. It's there. I have one worn to almost that point. Slick as glass!
Time to condition it a lot and rub fire out of it with the glass bottle and the palm.

Some pics would help.
Heck! Push comes to shove, sometimes the backside is pretty darn good! :D


(I didn't just say that! :p)

A thing to remember is that the 'shell' is a very thin layer on the stropping side.
Don't rub through that or you may as well strop on the backside.

Just like honing, everyone does what they do.
I am a big fan of Bick products to rejuvenate strops. Great stuff!
I started on these 2 NOS pigskins yesterday. No before pic, but were in original...

Sorry! It was just too easy! :D

Yes and we need to know more about that Latino strop! ;)
