Yes. The leather on Illinois Strops is treated to provide a good surface for stropping and dressing is not required on your new strop. However, the addition of Fromm's <a href="/products/razor-strop-dressing"><strong>Razor Strop Dressing</strong></a> improves the texture, creating an ideal stropping surface. Older strops that are showing signs of hardening or drying out can also be rejuvenated with Fromm's Razor Strop Dressing.</p> <p class="Question">Q.
