Thanked: 656
Warning :$
On several occasions I have recommended to iron out creases in leather strops. That was until I tried the same trick on a near mint Dovo Juchten (= Rindleder, Russia leather) strop that I had acquired with a Dovo razor. It tried to iron out creases that were caused by its previous owner who had folded the strop.
Disaster!! Strop dried out, cupped, turned very dark and stiffened up and I am now in the process of trying to "rapair" it if you like with oils.
So, ironing does work but only on strops made of well oiled leather. E.g. a Tony Miller Latigo strop and a Kanayama strop.
Russia leather is tanned very differently from many other leathers. That's probably why.Last edited by Kees; 09-05-2015 at 09:10 PM.
