Is that your main/only strop? I'm only asking because it looked like a beauty and barber 3" ?
I
really don't like being the bearer of bad news but If that is a beauty and barber and your using it as you main strop it may cause some problems by it self..
They are a very hard and not a very good strop. You
could damage your razor by using one of those.... (not saying you will)
Before joining SRP i purchased one not knowing the quality and it went in the bin the day i received it, but not before i cut it in half to see if it was actually leather or reconstituted leather.. I'm 95% sure they are reconstituted leather not a solid piece of leather. Its either that or they condition them with cement..
