Very nice, especially the purple satin backing adds a real nice touch.

Thanked: 1185Great looking roll. I really must invest in one of these. Besides being a great way to store razors they also look really cool. Besides, the silverware tray in my bathroom drawer is getting kind of full.

I'm glad you posted this. I've a roo hide on the way I plan on making a few strops for. I wonder if I could make myself a little roll, too. I can see how it would use an inordinate amount of hide, though, with all those pockets. I've also never stitched anything in my life.

Thanked: 983Mark, rather than using expensive hide to make the pockets, use a suitable material of your own choice. The hide is for the backing and the edge trimming. A roll will take a big chunk out of the usable leather on a 'roo hide.

Hi Mick,
Yeah, I see where you're going. Effx's pictures definitely show another material for the pockets, and even have a liner. It may be above my pay-grade at the moment but I think at some point I could pull this off. I only have one hide on the way and I've a feeling I may ruin a bit of it before I get a good strop or two out of it. I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself.
But thanks. That would certainly save me unnecessary use of roo leather.

I like the lining on that, I never liked razor rolls but them I won one in a drawing and now I don't know why I never got one before, they are awesome, I will definately get another one when I get more razors
