I recieved a B&B strop from a razor purchase. It a beauty and barber. Shinny on top, thick w felt strop also. Can this be used? Or part of it? Like the felt. Can i pumice the leather then use leamsfoot oil or saddle soap. If its not useable what happens if someone were to use a strop like this. I mean if you can use cardboard or newpaper why not this? I need to be enlightened.

Thank You
