Thread: Jumbo 8000 Cordovan / Shell Japanese Strop

For your consideration a Cordovan (Shell) Japanese that has been restores to a nice supple surface. i love Japanese strops. You will notice some small defects in the back side in one of the sides, but it will not get worst now that has been reconditioned. The smooth surface will give any razor a keen yet mellow edge for a nice shave.
the linen component had a small cut on cone side on the back that has been fixes and again, sill not affect stropping nor would it get worst on time. the hardware is in nice shape as well, I'm sure that the person that purchase this strop will be pleased.This guy has nothing to envy to a new kanayama.

Conditions: Shipping (to be covered by the buyer) to almost any country using EMS for expedite delivery (about 10 business days from shipping date to deliver at your country customs office) for only $20 to the US (ask me for other countries). Note: If you prefer, I can ship it for free without tracking number under buyer’s responsibility on F&F payments.

Shipping within 3 business days after payment. PayPal payment is expected within 24 hours after commit to buy the razor in this thread. Generally willing to hear reasonable offers. *Always happy to help grouping items to reduce individual shipping costs!*.

Price: $79

How wide is this?

2.5" wide, that's the standsrd wide in Japanese and most American vintage strops.

If anyone is wondering about this strop, this is a top quality vintage strop, made by Naomi San of Kanoyama fame. Can't go wrong.

The only reason this is still here is I’m not comfortable with the international shipping. I worry about things being shipped in the states yet alone a strop getting tossed on a plane with god knows laying on top of it. Otherwise she’d be swinging the herd here in mass.

I Wouldn't give it a second thought. I've bought several razors from gabe and everything has been well packaged and arrived in good shape. I know several SRP members have purchased strops from him and have never heard of anyone being disappointed.

Yeah, Yonder....You better get it...
That's some Kanoyama history there. I'm a sucker for that sort of thing...............

If my money wasn't sunk in other things I would love to try this.
Gabriel, I'm going to send this link to a guy on a local trading forum that was looking for an vintage strop.

thanks JP5! much appreciated!

yondermountain91, rest assured, everything i ship is packaged as if it was a Jar of cookies from mom! have shipped dozens of razors and my handcrafted roo strops, from here to all over the world, no Issues, and if there was any, not to worry all these fine gents will tell u I will make it right for you . But no worries i understand your concern, shipping abroad always has that "triller" that sometimes just spices up the flavor of the delivered packages but some other times just takes away our peace and it's nor worth
