Thread: Strop conditioning

I will explain sky coloring later, but for now:

Lather up whatever soap you're using. Lather up the strop. Allow it to dry overnight. Then wipe off the residue the next day. Moisten a towel lightly and rub the strop. Allow the strop to dry once more, then prepare to experience "true draw". You may get slight strop dye residue on your blade as you strop. I do, and I consider it worth the improved draw. It wipes right off.
