I just wanted to share an experience I just had. I was fooling around with a piece of scrap

leather I have glued to a small strip of bass wood, first I sanded it with 600 grit and then I

threw just a bit of Hide Rejuvenator I got from Tandy a while back. What a difference! It

increased the draw almost too much (might be control issues on a hanging strop) but it also

took a razor that I thought needed honing to hanging hair sharp in a few strokes. I apologize

this is common knowledge, but I just wanted to share. I don't know if it made the leather

better for stropping or if the increased draw made me concentrate on my newbie form a

little more.
