I think that that is a very reasonable line of thought. Although it could just be dye. :shrug:
Strop on it and see what happens.

I suppose if it were, it would get you a "realedge'! ;)
What can I say. I like a little shaving porn in the morning to get the old self moving. Why add a layer, no matter how pretty.
That cleaned up very well!! May have to do some experimentation now.
I have a Realedge Russian leather and linen strop and it is one of my favorites. The linen is white (well, several shades off-white) and the leather is a tough draw as RL often is. The back of the leather has a pebble-textured reddish synthetic sharpening material attached to it. Works fairly well although I have no idea what it is.
