Thanked: 4830A strop with heavy draw will indicate too much reassure very quickly, because you can't move the blade easily. I think heavy draw is good for that. You can get something with a light draw when you get that blade weight sorted out.

Is there any special way i should clean it, maybe with some saddle soap?

Thanked: 4830Well my thoughts are along the lines of go slow, it is easier to do a little more than try to take something back. HAHAHA I read that in another thread today and liked it. I would start with a damp cloth and see how far that went, progressing to a damp with a SMALL amount of lather or leather cleaner such as saddle soap.

Wait, does lather clean leather? I guess out would, but another guy told me never to use lather on a strop because one is on there you can never get it off.

Thanked: 4830You can alway do a site search and look for posts by Neil Miller and Tony Miller, both premier strop makers. It is more or less where my info comes from, past posts here on the forum. I have used lather on a strop in an attempt to recondition it, afterwards I oiled it and other than the fact that I over oiled it all is good.
