Thread: The super fly American Hone Co product (combination strop hone)

I got my grubby paws on it today. Methinks i've searched and inquired here already, but now i can describe it more accurately. and even a pic later maybe if i'm lucky, but lens is fouled.

It's about an 8x2x1 hunk of wood with a barber hone fixed on one side and a felt-backed strop buttoned from the stone side-around the ends and across the entire backside. Hollowed such that a razor, maybe two can be stored inside the whole thing. I thinks it's dabomb, but can't find any ref to it out there on the webading.

Official name, one sticker still intact: "20th Century Razor Strop" also "Keeps the Razor Right". Pat pend. plus normal AH markings. I'm going to clean it up gently. Stone appears to be removable, but i don't want to risk the label. Original box indicates that it was sold for 2.00 at some point in time.

Sounds very interesting. Looking forward to a pic or 2...

Arright, hang on. i'm shooting a pic or two....

well hell, imgur is not cooperating...1/2 hour wasted, using FB now.





toldja my lens is crap. bad design where it drags on the surface phone is resting on. Wonder if it'll buff out with Herbs Yellowstone? can't hurt it. Hey somebuddy send me some pure Cerium oxide eh?
