Over the weekend, I found a vintage strop. I bought it to use up at my cabin (I have a TM strop at home). If I remember the name right it was a Wm Marvy strop made of Russian leather and linen. It had a "diamond" back with a crosshatched cut pattern. it seems a quality strop. It was overly smooth and dry. I did a couple of applications on Neetsfoot oil. It seemed to drink that right up. The draw improved, but it seems like I need to do more. it measured 24x2 and 1/2.

1 - is this a quality strop?

2 - what would the next step be?
