Can this be restored...?
Attachment 239780
This is the first strop I have owned and my training ground. I have learned to strop various razors with it and, over several months, it has suffered somewhat. I tend to use only the top half these days and I have another on order from Berlin, I would like to know if there is any way for me to recover this however, so I might still be able to make full use of it. Is it salvage or scrap?

Get a fine pumice stone, or high grit wet & dry sandpaper (use it dry) and go over the nicks lightly until you flatten them out. Get some neatsfoot oil (a little goes a very long way) and rub that in. It won't be pretty but it should work fine. IMHO.

Hehe, I nicked one of mine yesterday, so to the shop with 1200 grit and a DA sander(2400grit equivalent) should get it resurfaced, then lots of hand rubbing and polish should put it back to use.
Good luck with yours Tom.
