Good Day Gents,

I have never put anything on any strop other than a brisk rubbing of my palm to warm the leather and put the oils that are in my hand onto the strop ( not much oils on my hand to be honest ), so with that said all my strops look very conditioned except my Kanayama.

I researched strop care from several makers and most all say don't apply any conditioners/oils unless you want to change the draw and Kanayama especially says nothing but your palm and occasionally use a warm damp cotton cloth to wipe the strop which I have done over the past year or so, anyway the strop looks dry but does kinda have a shine to it but also has what looks like dry streaks and I am wondering if I need to say apply maybe a few drops of Neatsfoot oil or maybe some Fromm's to my palm and briskly rub it in.

I have read thru the Kanayama strop care and it's advised never to apply oil just wipe with a warm damp cotton cloth but this seems like it would take away oils or is that thinking wrong.

So looking to you strop masters for suggestions, I truly love the feedback/draw of the strop and don't want to ruin the cordovan by applying somthing I should not but also concerned about the dry streaks.
