    Default cleaning an old strop

    I just picked up an old vintage strop (along with 3 stones and 3 razors) and it is still soft and has very few nicks. It is a bit dirty and I wanted to find out the best way to clean it without damaging the leather.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Glen

    Shaving lather will clean it up.

    I prefer GOOP or any other (non-pummice) waterless hand cleaner.

    Cheers,

    Yes it would, but I find GOOP quicker and seems to do a better job for me...no tacky residual.
