Hi,
Now that I know what side of my strop to use (!!), I realize that for a while now there has been _paint_ on it. I can feel it with my finger, so I guess it's liable to ruin the edge of my razor. I'd like to get rid of it. It's a 3" strop, so I can try to go around the paint, but it seems risky.
Does anyone have an idea of a way to try to remove the paint without breaking the leather (which would most likely have the same effect on the razor I suppose)? Or should I try to cut it to 2"? Or any other idea? I'm trying to justify not buying one of Tony Miller's nice 3" strops, since this one ought to be sufficient for my needs, and I've already spent a sizable amount on honing material to fix my stropping on the wrong side (!).
Thanks,
--Vincent
