A friend just "bought in" with a brand new 5/8 TI and Dovo strop from The Art of Shaving in San Francisco. He also bought some strop dressing, and I think he may have gone a little overboard with it. The draw felt uneven and very, very heavy.
How does one get a badly overdressed strop back in a usable condition? It would be a shame if his brand-new strop was a complete write-off.

Thanks,
Alexander
