Looks good Julian congrats and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I have a number for vintage professionally made barber's strops and some of them are stiff by design. If you can find some neatsfoot oil I think that would be better than olive oil as it does penetrate where I'm not so sure about the olive oil. Bugs are nott attracted to neatsfoot where they may be to the other. Whatever you use go sparingly until you get where you want ot be. It is easier to put the stuff on than to get it off if you use too much.
