It's best described as a suction you feel while stropping, like the blade wants to stick to the strop a bit.

How can I fix this
I have a nice LLama Brand Genuine Shell strop (broke_in Reg SteD). It is in prestine condition but there is no draw to it. It is slick as glass. The leather is supple and in excellent condition, very shinee with a few water marks.
I tried Fromm Strop Dressing and Neats Foot Oil but it is still without draw. What can I do.

Thanked: 213Keep using the oil but rub it till your hand gets so hot you can not stand it. Keep repeating daily till you get the feel you wont do not use the dressing. Can not tale credit Lynn gave me the tip but it works I had one that was in the same condition took about 7 days but got what I want.

Thanked: 369Don't worry about it! Those shell strops are supposed to have a fast action to them. I have a vintage cordovan shell that is also slick as glass. Almost has a mirror finish on it as well. Just apply a little pressure when stropping. These strops are considered among the best for full hollow ground razors.
