Thread: SRD English bridle strop conditioning?

I have an Illinois #827 which is a great, heavy draw strop...things a beast and does a great job. When I purchased it from the Classic Edge, it said it is one of the few strops that need to be treated with Fromm Strop Conditioner - which I did as per instructions.

My other strop, tan leather, should be able to have nothing more than the palm of your hand, but it is so dry here, the strop had become almost brittle. So I applied some of the Fromm Strop conditioner, the strop literally drank it up, and after two applications, the strop is beautiful, nice light to medium draw...so that worked for me...just seemed to give it the kick it needed.

So the absolute dryness of the cold, complete lack of any humidity, really dried my strop out, and the conditioner worked wonders on it...YMMV.
