Thread: When's best to treat the strop?

So, when's the best time to treat the strop with that lovely yellow paste? How often?

What colour is a car?

Which strop, how many shaves...? Here are some potential answers: http://www.google.com/search?q="dovo...razorplace.com

I've not felt the need to use the yellow ( tallow aka animal fat ) on any strops in a long time ..
If your strop is a good quality and feels smooth , Id personally just rub your hand over it a few times everyday . Lynn - founder of SRP does this .

BeBerlin 's links above will give you a lot of info and I'd recommend you have a read.

Theres a good right up here also Strops_and_care

If after having a wee read and you decide to fire some of the yellow paste on use little amounts 1/4 snurdles ( half a small garden pea size ) and give it a good rub in , then give the strop a wipe with a clean dry cloth .

hope this helps bud .
