Thread: Heavily damaged strop...

I have repaired a strop with a similar area of ruffed up/cut up leather. I sanded off the area until smooth and applied a liberal coat of neatsfoot oil.

Ive used neastfoot oil for years , wasnt till I started using a straight razor that I found most dont recommend using it on strops , apparently it does more damage than good , causes more deteiriation in the long run " so they say "

Who are they?

I would not even bother. You would probably end up spending 20 dollars in gear needed to fix it. I am not sure that is even fixable.
