Using Vitamin E Oil For Strop Conditioning
Just wondering if anyone else has tried using vitamin E oil for conditioning a strop? My wife has a bottle of it for her skin. So, I tried it yesterday after I had to repair a little nick in my stop. I sanded the nick out and notice how dry the part of my strop was after I sanded it. I applied it sparingly with a cotton ball and at first I notice how dark it made my strop. I thought I might have ruined it but, today my strop is close to it's original color. It made the leather soft and pliable. I ran my hand across it and there was no residue and it felt smooth. So earlier today, I decided to lightly sand the whole strop today and apply the oil to the whole strop. I just stropped one of my razors on it and no problems at all. Like I said earlier I used it sparingly and waited at least 8 hours before using the strop! Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated..
