And she works at a small local salon here in town. She has been doing straight razor shaves (and damn good ones too) but just kind of taught herself. She has read up on some things and much to my surprised has been on this site and watched some videos of Lynns and Gssixgun. Anyway she says she has been having trouble learning to strop. I looked at her strop and it was a vintage and in from what I could tell not great condition. Not many nicks, but the leather has started to dry. There is no cracking but the leather is pitted and not real smooth with a few wrinkles in some spots due to age. My question is can this typically be fixed by strop conditioner? If not I may try to get her a new one from Larry just because it is cool to know someone else that is into SR shaving.
