    Default strop wrinkle

    I was given an horse hide strop and she has some wrinkles in her from shipment. I imagine this is not good for a razor. How do I remove the wrinkles, if at all possible?

    Hang it up and rub it on both sides until it is better? A picture?

    Pictures would help a lot on this one. Some wrinkles might come out but a serious crease can be damage that cant be fixed. Sharptonn is your man when it comes to strops.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Looks like a more contemporary tannage. Light oil front and back and rub. Perhaps a smooth glass bottle to rub on it. A bit at a time, it may come out.

    Cool! Just don't overdo any bending. Takes time between rubs.
