Weekly strop conditioning
Believe it or not, I routinely condition my strop on my dog's back. I have a bird hunting dog (German Short-hair Pointer). And, probably once a week or so, I just rub my strop on his back and use a little bit of his oil. The result is a nice draw on the strop - if thats what you're looking for. I also rub it a little with my palm to smooth it in a little. I also have wiener dog, but I think he's just a little too greasy; I've opted not find out either way (why mess with a good thing).
