Thread: Conditioning A Red Latigo Strop

Are the black and red latigo's different in performance? I thought it was just dyed differently.

Actually, to me the Black is a little stiffer and takes a little longer to break in, but once there, you get that killer Latigo draw. Do get a lot more dye on the palm at first when hand rubbing, but it does stop after a short while.
