In another thread found here the OP posted a link to a shaving how-to book from 1905. on page 39 of that ebook the author talks about how to condition a strop that has become glazed or is smooth with no draw. To remedy this, the author says to work lather (i assume he means shave soap lather) into the strop until it is saturated, then allow it to dry. I tried it on a scrap piece of leather and it does add some drag for my fingers. Has anyone tried this on their strop yet?
