I tried Str8 shaving once before and didnt have good luck with it ,tore my face up.That was way beforeI found this place.Now I am going to give it another try.I have a strop from my previous attempt but its been awhile since I have used it .I managed to get the linen all cleaned up .Now I am working on the leather .It is still pliable but has stains of unknown origin.
Doesnt seen to affect the leather though but want to give it a good cleaning and conditioning anyway .I have read the recommendations for gojo or goop to clean with .But is there a homemade or DIY conditioner that i can use ?Or would it be better to just buy a premade one?BTW the Strop is a Illinois #127. Is this okay or should i start looking for another.
