Strop maintenance question, please
Hi,
I have a quality Dovo strop--linen on one side, leather on the other.
The only thing I do is treat the leather periodically with mink oil--it keeps the leather soft and offers consistent resistance on the blade when stropping. I washed the linen side once and reapplied a tube of white paste. All is working well.
My question is, do I need to do more to keep this strop working well for years to come?
I was told awhile back to rub a dry pumice stone on the leather periodically. Should I be doing this?
Thanks for your help.
Ron
