hey there.. just got an Ebay strop, not a vintage one, but a new one,has a straight leather side, and a black dyed side with a cloth(not cotton/linen backing).. now here's my question..
when i got the thing, and pulled it out of the mailer, where the strop was curled the hard leather is starting to .. split? Crack? i don't know what else to call it, the leather is very dry, and stiff. i have a pot of dubbin and was wondering if that could be used to treat the leather with no ill effects?
