I'm in Mexico on holiday I'll try dig out the strop I don't think I will restore it as it is more a decoration now it means to much to ruin and my safety was my dads I used it on my baby whiskers when I was 16-17 I'm now 24 and haven't had a clean shave myself since 17 as I said before went for a hot towel shave and the feeling of my clean shave and the fact that I had very little to no irritation was amazing
