Imperfection in the leather causes a bump. Is this a problem?
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a black latigo 3" strop from Classic Shaving. When I received the strop about two weeks ago, I noticed near the center there was a hard spot, which felt like someone was pushing up from the other side with their finger. I have been giving a thorough palm rub down two to three times a day, trying to smooth it out. Now the rest of the strop feels supple and baby soft, but this spot appears to have raised slightly and is now a dime size imperfection in the leather. It almost looks like a knot hole in a piece of wood (but no hole). When I strop my razor over it, it makes a different sound when going over this part. What do you recommend?
Also, I name Classic Shaving only for everyone to know the strop I am talking about and in no way do I mean to put them on blast. They are good people and I have purchased all my razors and most of my supplies from them, every time being completely satisfied with their customer service. Plus, I enjoy spending a day in Palm Springs visiting their store, it has become a bit of a hobby.
