It's a beautiful strop, and I've been looking for a nice vintage shell. Is this similar to an ultra-slick shell cordovan? And how wide is it? Your description says "16 x w ½ inches." Thanks-Aaron

Typo sorry. Should have said 2 1/2". Dont know about strops too much. Not sure what it is comparable to.

I'll take it-As I said, I've been wanting to try a vintage shell (I sure can't afford the new ones!). PM me your PayPal, and I'll send you the funds.

SHD, I think this is a great strop. My Koken has "scotch shell" and is as slick as water on ice. I swear it leaves a sharper edge than my other strops although I have no proof except my opinion.
