Thread: Kanayama question for owners

Yep, no need for anything else than a good palm rub on a new strop and the occasional wipe down with a damp cloth. It will keep your strop in tip top condition for many years.

Thanks for the help.

If it's not an old found strop in need of care, don't use or need conditioner. A strop that's used regular and just wiped down with a damp cloth every now and then to get the dust off is all a strop needs. Period. Tc

Good to know. Thanks tc and all!
