    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

    Thank you for the input. Could you please explain to me how a strop can be ruined be over-fatting? This is something I have never hard of, so I am curious.
