    Let me put it this way......I didn't slop it on.
    I used my index finger and tipped the bottle onto the tip of my finger and proceeded to rub it in a lil at a time till I had covered the whole strop.

    Still won't hurt it? I hope.

    Lay it flat and cover top and bottom with clean paper.
    Then stack some books on top and if oil migrates to the paper
    that is a good thing.

    Bottom line.... use it in good health and do not worry
    it will be fine.

    Well, I got a little carried away with the stuff on an SRD Premium I once. The effect was stunning. As in, the amound of draw I got out of the strop was massive. Fortunately, the effect has worn off since then (6 months of daily use), and it is now almost back to normal. So, no, the strop certainly is not ruined, but it may behave quite differently for some time.

    MadButcher, niftyshaving, BeBerlin..........

    Thanks you guys for straightening that out for me. Whew! Glad I didn't ruin that $90 strop from SRD.

    On that note....cheers!

    I used a drop or two for years before I learned about paste and all the cool guy stuff. I think it closes the grain a little so all the blade hits it....kinda like that red atigo feel..but that's just me. I'm no pro, I have done it the way my Grandfather did it....I still hone on a old glass seamless bottle (the way grampa showed me)

    strop & tommy picture by jbtusa - Photobucket

    I used it on the new strap that I just made using blank leather from Tandy Leather. The Neatsfoot (shin bone) oil worked great on the new leather surface. I would be careful about how much because too much oil could lead to stretching.
