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.Last edited by bottomfeeder; 10-08-2011 at 01:22 AM.
