Thread: Hi to all-I need some strop help

1. Webbing side first, then leather. You'll have to develop your own stropping routine but 30 webbing and 60 leather is a good routine to start with.

2. No paste on this strop. Later on, as you progress, you may want to use pastes to touch up or refresh a blade that is starting to pull. Pastes generally work best on cotton, felt or leather. At that point a dedicated hanging or paddle strop for the pastes may be in order.

3. Leather conditioner is unnecessary and may be detrimental. Just rub your strop with the palm of your hand before you use it and the natural oils from your hand will condition the leather.
