lather to condition strop?
Hi all,
First post here. Have been using my straight for a few days now along with a new strop. I applied lather to the strop, wiped it off and then used a glass bottle to run along it.
The strop, instead of having a brand new leather look (i.e. very smooth) is not much more supple and with small bumps where the lather has gone into the strop. There are not dags of leather sticking up, but it is not smooth any more.
Is this ok?
The razor shaves ok. I am only using a 4K/8K Norton and strop with the diamond pastes in the mail ;-) Sometimes passes the HHT and i am not feeling it is sharp enough yet...
So my strop, stuffed or ok?
