Good demonstration, just one thought though:
Wouldn´t soaking a leather in oil be a little bit too much?
I have seen many strops ruined by over-fatting.
For the beginner I recommend no oil. Rubbing the clean but unwashed hand over the strop bevore use will do just fine.
Beginners may get very confused and overdo the oil thing,
even though it is entirely unnecessary
nice video, i like that you explain why you are doing what you are doing, makes it easer for newbies to find helpful information on these videos.
You are welcome. :gl:Quote:

after excessive use of oil. Oils and fats will get succed into the grain of the leather like you explained.
But if it is too much for the leather to hold simply removing the excess won´t do because the leather will start to release oil on its own during use.
It completely depends on the type of leather and the dyeing process,
how much oil a leather can take.
But I think that no additional oil is needed if the leather is new
