I have several razors from him, he knows his stuff and his razors are shave ready for sure, he can be trusted.
I actually have one of his black buffalo strops too, except he made mine 2 1/2" for me. Their fast, he said they settle down to a medium draw but i use mine for 100 laps daily. I've had it a while and it's still fast which I like.
Hey, thanks for the info, cool thing that you know that guy. So it seems like I purchased a decent strop, I'm quite happy to read that you like yours. Mine just has to arrive here and I have to learn how to use it.

If there are any questions concerning razors or hones, beside posting here and get best information also don't hesitate to contact me. I live near Frankfurt. So if you are near, there might be a chance for a visit to discuss things in personal, get a honing or have a look how striaght razors are ground.
Enjoy you stay here, you can't find better infos on all things related to straights than at SRP!

Best regards Peter
Hi Peter,

thanks for stopping by and for the welcome. Your reputation precedes you.

I live near Stuttgart, not too far. Maybe I could really pay you a visit sometime. Would be awesome to see some of that equipment, the cool stuff you show on your homepage! Thanks a lot for the offer, really appreciated! Echt super nett!

Beste Grüße
