Eric great advice, but I was surprised to see that you don't condition the paddle & top fastening leather piece. You strip them all down, but only conditioned one of the three. The top fastening leather piece looked particularly dry :(
Great question xxXXCarbon6XXxx! ;) You are right I should have conditioned all the leather even the paddle on the fabric strop. However, I was trying to keep the video as short as possible. I will do them all and try to show them somehow. Thanks for your great comment and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and stay safe, have a good weekend my friend! #Heart
You bet Joseph! ;) Yeah, Buddy this is an overlooked area of straight razor shaving that needs some attention! Thanks so much for your great suggestion and encouragement, and thanks for watching! :) Take care and stay safe, have a good day and a great weekend, my friend! :) #Heart
I’m getting into strops. They are fun! I restored a vintage Shell strop that performs nicely. Very pleased with it. I applied leather balm on it after scrubbing her with saddle soap.
Restoring your vintage Shell strop very nice, Kirk! ;) Yeah, Buddy I have heard good things about those strops and it sounds like a wonderful find! Stropping can be very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks for your great comment and thanks for watching! :) Have a good day, take care and stay safe my friend! :) #Heart
hey buddy i carry that exact leatherman every day 👍👍👍. i generally run a razor edge up so only the spine is touching the new strop for 30/laps just to makes sure it’s smoothed out and any unseen or uneven bits get a bit of steel across them . have a great day mate and a great weekend
