If I learned to do it, you can too! There's a lot of great information on this forum, much of it from Euclid440. Restoring strops requires minimum investment in supplies (just sandpaper, mink oil or neatfoot oil or something similar, and some saddle soap), and some patience. That's it! Anytime you have questions, there are a lot of guys here who are happy to answer and to encourage - I know this from experience. Plus it's super satisfying to learn to do it yourself.
