Is my strop Junk? (possibly too dry?)
Hi,
I'm relativley new to straight edge shaving, and the other half bought me a new strop from a supposed reputable online dealer.
When the strop arrived it was very very dry and very hard. I tried to strop using it but it just did not feel how I thought it should?
I have since rubbed it down with dovo yellow paste (animal fat I believe), and it is a little better, but now it feels like it has a few hard uneven spots?
Is this how a strop should be or is it scrap? (I would have thought the strop should feel like a leather belt, nice and supple & floppy???)
