Effect of too much neatsfoot oil on homemade strop?
Newbie lurker here, just made a homemade strop from a bovine shoulder. It's 3-4 oz hide and I think I put too much neatsfoot oil on. It takes about 100 strops to get it to pass the hht. For reference I have a full hollow ground dovo ebony-silver steel blade. It shaves alright but I feel it could be sharper to start. It came shave ready. Would over doing it with neatsfoot oil be the cause for either: so many strops needed; or just not getting sharp enough?
Open to any thoughts....
Thanks all
