I had recently purchased a brand new Dovo strop...

and some strop conditioner...

and decided to try applying some. The strop soaked up the conditioner so fast that I couldn't rub it in smoothly or evenly, so I ended up drenching the strop with the entire tube, letting soak in end then trying to rub off the excess.

For the longest time I couldn't feel the leather 'grab' the metal while stropping. Instead it felt like it was sticking or gliding along a waxy paste. After lots of rubbing and wiping (with dry or damp clothes), I've removed the surface stuff and can barely feel the leather while stropping.

Is it possible to fix my poor strop?

Thanks,
Mark
