I think I have ruined a strop but would like your advice. It is one of Tony's that I keep at my parents' house and use very occasionally. When I came back for Chrimbo I noticed it was very stiff and made a scratching sound when I was stropping and didn't seem to work as well as it's more regularly used and more flexible brother.

In my eagerness to rectify it I rolled it quite tightly and have now consequently made it very wrinkled. It does not seem to be working at all well.

I'd appreciate anyone letting me know if it is repairable or should I consign this one to a painful lesson?
