Straight razor & strop for Movember 2020

Up for auction is a Chabrol à Paris near wedge straight razor and a G. A. Kayser & Sons strop.

There's not a lot of information about this razor, but I'm guessing it's from the mid-1800s. It is shave ready according to my tastes.

The strop is one I restored a couple of years ago, I'm very happy with the outcome. The leather is very supple, and I'd say it has a medium-fast draw. I bought the secondary poly firehose component from Tom/Sharptonn, so you know it will be good.

I will pay the shipping worldwide, all auction proceeds go to the SRP Movember fund.

In memory of an old teacher and family friend who passed away a couple of days ago from pancreatic cancer.

I'll start off with $50

I'll go $60 - if no one tells my wife :)

A few details I forgot to include: The razor measures 13/16" at the widest point, and the strop is labelled as an Arab Shell strop.

Let me know if you have any questions or want more photos.
