So... if you had an old vintage strop that was really dry and stiff and you kept putting neatsfoot oil on it and rubbing it in till you could see oil stains on the back side of the strop and when you strop a razor on it there is absolutely no draw what so ever. Its like running the razor over a very slick piece of glass. I tried rubbing some prairie soap creations lanolin soap lather into it without any improvement. Have I ruined the leather?
