I have a Cyril R Salter linen and leather strop. According to the instruction leaflet , I can increase the strops effectiveness and prolong its life by using dry soap on the linen bit. Just rub the bar against it, then work in with the side of a glass bottle. The soap I used was Wrights Coal Tar, I'm saving the Erasmic for shaving now that it is no more.
This seems to be working (to my inexperienced and highly unknowledgeable eye).
Does it mean I don't need to bother with any of the pastes and other preparations I see on the market? Because basically I am a lazy sod and can never be arsed getting stuff unless I really, really need it or it will make a massive difference to whatever activity I am persuing.
Thanking you all in advance for any response/opinions.
Cheers
Phil
