Thread: Help with new strop

I received my new Glen Flanagan strop from the srp giveaway (thank you all)
And its hard as nails is this the way it should be or what do I need to do to break it in.
I have tried rubbing in a small amount of olive oil and rubbing with my hand and rolling glass on it but its like trying to soften concrete.



edit:
By the way this is a beautiful strop, very well put together, that I am delighted to have won.
