treating strops--- did I do this correctly?
OK, I'm a newbie...
I purchased a stop/razor deal (Zeepk----I now know they are junk razors) and the strop seemed OK.
Then I read you had to treat them.
I used a candle to rub down the linen side, then I heated it with a hair dryer.
I used mink oil on the strop, coating it, heating it with hair dryer and then vigourous rubbing with a ceramic doorknob on both sides. Repeated twice.
heated the front side of the strop one last time. Rubbed it off with a clean dry cloth.
Now the strop feels somewhat..... tacky? Not really sticky but there is much drag to it.
Now when I strop, the razor slowly slides along the strop with alot of drag. Is this normal or have I messed this strop up?
