    Default Conditioning A Red Latigo Strop

    First off, I think I read somewhere that latigo leather requires a different conditioning routine than other leathers. Is this correct?

    I have a Tony Miller 3" red latigo that I bought last year, my daily strop. I currently give it a rub down with my palm prior to every stropping session, as is the norm. Lately I've noticed that I don't get as much draw as I used to, usually a sign that a strop needs conditioning. Some areas are more "shiney" than others, and although the palm rub does seem to help this out a bit. Any ideas about what would help? Would neatsfoot or Fromms do the trick?
