Okay - tried tha Bag Balm to condition a couple of strops - WORKED GREAT!!!

Used very little, and worked it in with fingers first, then the palm of the hand. It really, really softened and conditioned the leather, and stropping on it was a pleasure!

You can buy a tin of Bag Balm at about any pharmacy. it is cheap, and the tin will last many years (unless you do a herd of cows with it!)

Best -
