I found myself an antique strop, but its very cruddy and kinda gross. I tried scrubbing it with a brush and letting it soak with some water and lather and rescrubbing it. But all I seem to be doing is washing down dark red-brown colored water down the drain.
It's grainy to the touch. It says "The Southern Barber Supply Co - Roanoke, Va" on the bottom of it. What can I do with it??
