My leather strop is getting very shiney, very very smooth. Is this accepatble or would I be wise to take a very fine grit sandpaper say... 400 or higher and gently rub the leather until it is less smooth?
Or is having smooth, shiney leather what is required?
Also, strop width: does it matter the width? I plan on purchasing a new strop in a week or so, but in the meantime I am using home made strops of various thicknesses and widths. The one that gets the most use is 3 inches wide and I see most strops are sold between 2 and 2 1/2 inches wide.
is it better to have a strop not as wide as the blade of my Razor?
