    Did not think of that, Richard. The wax was grungy anyway.
    Besides, I don't have an iron, but a hotplate and a pot, I've got!

    Nice looking strop, Tom!

    Using an iron and newspaper to get rid of the wax is a good idea, Razorfeld. I have done something similar with candle wax stuck to carpet.

    Tom, steal a iron from your wife or go to Goodwill. Low cost there.

    Are you telling me you have more strops than socks for them? I better get the sewing machine warmed up.

    Did I ever tell you I've got a strop from an extinct barber supply company in NY with my last name on it?

    I suppose it has a 'Razorfeld strop cover' of some smashing material?
    I am really enjoying mine!

    Nope. Just hanging out in the bathroom with the other ones bare-arse necked. (I have what I call hanging bench strops. A piece of pressboard the width of, and about 4" shorter than the strop inserted between the two surfaces and held in place with Velco strips.)

    I can relate. Seems I have taken to drive a cruddy old car these days. The ghetto will deprive you from your nice car!

    What's your excuse, Richard? Get some clothes on those strops!

    A thought crossed my mind as I saw the green/waxed finish on the fabric I shared above.

    Anyone think they mixed CroOx with the wax?
