And from a post on Badger and Blade

Read a few paragraphs further to Russian Leather and Horse Hide:

"To break in leather strops try the following course : If not already
done, grind the grain side to smooth it down, soak in urine a couple of days, draw
out, let dry a day, stretch on a board, fill with shaving soap, rub with bottle in same
manner as canvas, apply lead and rub until ready to use."
