    Default New user questions

    My new strop arrived today. Nothing special I was advised not to through down a fortune on my first. So my questions are...

    1. Do I need to treat it prior to use in any way?

    2. It has two strops. One being a softer thin leather, the other a much stiffer and thick leather. In which order and what purpose do each serve?

    3. Unfortunately it's only 2", do I have to use the x pattern or can I just keep it straight and alternate which end of the blade I have in contact?

    I know typical rookie questions you have all heard. But thank you for understanding and as always thank you for all your advice and information it is very much appreciated.
