Thread: Strop developing scales. Problem? Solution? How to prevent in future?

Ian, it looks like its time for a good cleaning. Get some saddlesoap and use it per instructions, you may wish to repeat the process to get the strop really clean, I would use a soft bristle brush (toothbrush maybe) to get the crud from the crevices. After the strop has dried sufficiently I would give it one or two coats as necessary of neatsfoot oil, baseball glove oil or a similar natural product. This should help immensely.


Edit. When I travel with a strop, I roll it leather side out, this way the leather doesn't get "scrunched'"
