=====How To Make Softer Canvas Strop=====
It is kind of hard work, but if you will try to do it, please do like below:
Put on body soap (solid one), and wash it away
Put on the canvas strop on the wood board, and pounding with wooden hammer on the round portion of the wood hammer side to kill the tough fibers.
Washing by brush
Rubbing solid body soap
Washing by brush
Wrapping by Nagura to polish the surface of the canvas strop
Washing by washing machine
Drying at shade a couple days
Putting on body soap by brush
Wrapping by beer bottle strongly
Please do the all above processes three times
I'm not advocating that anyone else do what I have done, but after examining the Kanayama canvas component side-by-side against my SRD premium canvas component, I have chosen to forsake the previous instructions and just use the strop. I have used it daily for the past couple of weeks and have seen no ill effects from this usage - either under the microscope or on my face. I have used it on everything from a 5/8 Dubl Duck to an 8/8+ W & B FBU with no problems at all.
