I think down the line I will do what Mr. Naomi advises, to get more of a shine to it.
I normally use mink oil on my bridle strop.
One thing I never do is rub down with my palm, because I don't want to own anything that requires sweat to improve it haha.
I'm used to a 3 inch strop although my first strop was a 2.5 , I hope I get used to this one.
I cant wait for it to arrive.
