    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Big thanks to 32t for that thread! Boy, THAT one got off-topic, eh?
    So wax was added as an advantage! Glad I got the most of it off, however. No Like!
    Still some there, it can be seen and felt. Hopefully it is just right now!

    Kidding aside, I was watching Antiques Roadshow one night and a guy brought a strop over to the expert.

    The expert said the strop was very rare and sought after by collectors. Originally came with a wax treated linen, and worth maybe $10,000 at auction. But since somebody had boiled the linen, removed the wax, it was only worth $3.98 ........
