Keeping in mind im new at this, I received a filly strop from rup razor, and one side has green residue on it..what is it, and do I work it into the strop or what? When I grab my strop I end up getting it on my hands, any help would be appreciated.

Strop regularly on the leather side...use the "green" side for touch ups. I asked Ken the same question, and his reply:Quote:
"The rough side is treated with 0.5µ chromium oxide for the occasional edge tune up"
Enjoy your new Filly!Quote:
"The chromium oxide on the rough side of the strop will last many years. Even it starts to turn black from steel accumulation it will still perform very well. I recommend using the rough side every four or five shaves and then only four or five laps. I do this on my strop and I have razors that have not been on a hone in over a year. "
That was my first strop too and I love it. I use it more than my tony miller strop!
My first strop also and is doing fine. Keep up the good work
