Leather treatment for home made strop
Hi,
I made myself a paddle strop that is about 65mmx560mm (2.5" x 22"). The material is belt leather that I bought from a local market. I am going to use it as a pre-shave strop. I am wondering if i should treat the leather and, if so, what would be the best way to treat it? I had a look at this book (1905 shaving made easy) yesterday and it seemed to recommend rubbing lather into it. Not sure if i want to use up good shaving soap in this process and if there are other products that i could use that would improve the draw
