Thread: Sold: Selection of 3" strops

I am offering three 3" strops which I have tested few times, but I don't use.

(1) Mountain Mike latigo strop made for vintageblades several years ago.
It is black leather and black webbing and has the mountain mike logo with the american flag, made in america, and home of the brave. It has D-rings.
It is basically like new. I found the email with my order confirmation which shows I paid $85 for it. Asking $75 shipped in US

(2) Straight Razor Designs Premium I. It also has the same poly-webbing material in brown color, but the leather is different. Latigo is heavily infused with oils and waxes and has a heavy draw (after it's broken in), this leather is not and the draw is very silky not heavy not light. To me it is the best leather in all modern production strops that I've found.
Instead of D-rings this one has leather handles. Some people prefer handles, and they're certainly more traditional and since are more work and leather material it's usually a slightly more expensive option to D-rings.
This strop is also almost like new - I've tested it for a couple of weeks and then it hung in my bathroom for few months before I put it in the closet. Retails for $85, asking $75 shipped in US.

(3) Is not for sale and has been masked in the photographs.

(4) It's another 3" strop with giant D-rings. I think it's StarShaving big daddy but I am not sure. I don't really know what the leather is, but it has medium draw. I've stropped few razors to test it and it works well.
It has got one beginner's nick on it toward the far end (not from me) which has had no ill effect on the edges I've stropped on it, but can be sanded slightly if preferred.
The fabric component is thick wool felt. I don't have much experience stropping on such fabric for everyday use (the effect is really long-term so you can't tell with few stroppings), but it works very well for pastes.
Asking $55 shipped in US

Nice offerings. The Star Shaving "Big Daddy" (their 3"-wide strop) was a bridle leather. As I recall, it did indeed have a medium draw--which was pretty good for a bridle leather.

I shall pm.

Hello Gugi,

Would the BigDaddy strop still happen to be available?

Yes, I still have it. I'll send you a PM.

How long is it?

I won't be able to measure it until getting back home on Monday but from the first picture with the strops hanging it's a standard size, may be slightly longer.
