Great video. I'm always looking to improve my stropping. Thanks.

Glad that you could use the video.

The_Pastor,

Glad you did. Every detail could be seen very clearly, and already saved this to my harddrive.
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!

Good demonstration, just one thought though:
Wouldn´t soaking a leather in oil be a little bit too much?
I have seen many strops ruined by over-fatting.

For the beginner I recommend no oil. Rubbing the clean but unwashed hand over the strop bevore use will do just fine.
Beginners may get very confused and overdo the oil thing,
even though it is entirely unnecessary

nice video, i like that you explain why you are doing what you are doing, makes it easer for newbies to find helpful information on these videos.

Thank you for the input. Could you please explain to me how a strop can be ruined be over-fatting? This is something I have never hard of, so I am curious.
