Straight razor & strop for Movember 2020
Up for auction is a Chabrol à Paris near wedge straight razor and a G. A. Kayser & Sons strop.
There's not a lot of information about this razor, but I'm guessing it's from the mid-1800s. It is shave ready according to my tastes.
The strop is one I restored a couple of years ago, I'm very happy with the outcome. The leather is very supple, and I'd say it has a medium-fast draw. I bought the secondary poly firehose component from Tom/Sharptonn, so you know it will be good.
I will pay the shipping worldwide, all auction proceeds go to the SRP Movember fund.
In memory of an old teacher and family friend who passed away a couple of days ago from pancreatic cancer.

A few details I forgot to include: The razor measures 13/16" at the widest point, and the strop is labelled as an Arab Shell strop.
Let me know if you have any questions or want more photos.randydance062449 and cudarunner like this.

I’ll bump it to $90 in honour of a friend battling leukaemia.
