Here's something which is bugging me. I have been using a hanging strop for a few years now and I like using it. I condition my strop with paste from a little yellow tube, and it works. After a light, occasional, pasting the strop works well and I get a fantastic shave on demand.
However I would like to know what is in the strop paste. It could very easily be vaseline, or beef dripping, or even reconstituted vegetable oil. I have absolutely no idea and suspect that there is something I could use which is just as effective which does not come in a relatively expensive unlabelled 9g tube.
Your comments would be much appreciated
