I was at a hardware store last night trying to find some rivets and washers to fix a pair of scales and the salesperson was an elderly gentleman probably in his 70s.

When he saw the straight razor I was working on, he lit up and told about how his dad used a straight. He also said that when he and his brothers got out of line, his dad would whip them with his strop.

Never heard of that one. I've heard of a kid being disciplined with Dad's belt, so why not a strop?
