100$ very cool

Let's do 150

Our resident tailor extraordinaire Richard has graciously offered to make razor strop socks again this season. The lucky winner will have choice of width, length, and fabric, post auction to design the protector of his or her finest strops.
Believe the quantity is three but Richard will probably chime in for clarity before auctions end..

Being the proud owner of 5 of these socks I can attest to their build, and their value.

Now people only touch the socks, not the strops when using that powder room and asking what they are. Less oil less dust, less splashes for hands..
Highly recommended protectors and custom built??

Who’s needing protection??.
Auction will run till midnight EST November 21st.
Cheers gents.

To clarify, this first flight of three socks will be ending Monday, Nov 8 at midnight Pacific time. Place your bids here. Thank you.

You gents are awesome.
But to be clear on this one, it’s not a finished strop, it’s the leather itself..
You will still need to mount it on either a hanger, board, or loom.
I know they offer hardware for all these purposes as I use it myself, but wanted full clarity on the auction.
Here are some examples of the hide in use.


Also in case folks didn’t guess, thanks not my actual stash at the top, that’s Horweens picture.
I do have enough leather thought that I will run multiple auctions of it through the month as there seems to be an interest, and the money all, 100%, goes to a good cause.
Cheers.

Hey I recognize one of those looms

Those are gorgeous looms Mike. Your design and fabrication?

My fabrication yes, and thanks very much for the compliment.
Design was all former legend and member Bill Barber, aka Pixelfixed. I merely tried my best to recreate his works from some forum threads and members pictures of their own models.
Tc threw me the challenge before the pandemic, and while they took a long time to get right, it was a ton of fun creating them. All exotic and premium components, some fossils and a bit o brass and steel..

Nice work, they look very professional.

Here’s some examples of these fine utilitarian items shamelessly stolen from another thread. Hehe

As Richard corrected me, this auction is a quick one, ending in three days gents.
If you have exposed leather you need a few of these..
Cheers.
