Thread: Kanayama Strop Care

I have two of those Kanayama Strops and all I ever do is take a damp sponge and run it over the strop. The oils are distributed throughout the leather as part of the leather finishing process so a damp cloth rubbed over the strop surface infrequently won't affect the strop negatively.

I live in single digit humidity and have never experienced any kind of drying out of the leather.

I have found nothing more needed than a well rung out piece of cotton towel run over the surface once or twice a year does the trick, definitely no oils or conditioners the draw is just about perfection I don't want to chance altering that.
