Anybody else tried this or something similar?


Well, not quite similar to Nivea but when I bought my first strop the old gent at 'Barber's Supplies' said that lard was one of the best conditioners for a strop and to only apply to the flesh side not the stropping surface.
I've done that on and off for 26 years and still have the same strop.
Yes it's supple and no, it doesn't smell bad, just smells like leather
