Thanked: 0Strop nap
Hello, I've read lots of posts but still am cornfused,,, I have an Illinois 827 Russian Leather strop, used it twice and it appears that there is a nap coming up, like suede. I'm sure there are no nicks or dings on my blade as the nap is too uniform (no line cauced by a burr) and looking thru a loupe shows a clean, shining edge, free of nicks and dings. I haven't done anything to the strop as I've heard somewhere that one doesn't need to condition, roll a glass, or pumice stone a new Russian Leather strop. Is this napping normal or indicitive of a problem and if so, what do I do?
thanks, Zig
