ok, i was talking to a friend a few days ago, and the subject went to straight razors, we ended up talking about stropping (he has no idea even where to begin) and he threw out an idea after i explained a little bit and i want to know what everyone else thinks, i thought that it wouldn't work, but the more i think about it, the more curious i am if it would
anyways, here it is

Take a long strip of leather, he said wide enough for the entire blade of the razor
figure out a way to make a seamless loop in it (the part that i think wouldn't be possible)
and then put it on a small belt sanders and turn it one for stropping a razor, holding it on different sides of the belt to get both sides of the blade

would this work
if so, how would you get the seamless joining of the ends of the leather?
