    Default Found a Palmer(?) straight and a Four Sided Paddle Strop in a vintage shop...

    I found this straight razor and this four-sided paddle strop several weeks back at a local vintage store. The shank reads "31 The Palmer." The blade was in decent shape, only some superficial scratching and surface level tarnish that came out with a light rub of finishing compound. I gave it my best efforts at honing and gave it several shaves. As my skill level grows, I'm finding it delivers a very close shave with each subsequent effort. I am very new at this though, so take that for what it might be worth.The strop appears to have a honing stone built in, and what appears to be three different leather types surrounding it. The initials "S.L.B." are designed into the handle. That's the only information I have regarding it.Does anyone know anything about this particular razor brand? My limited search results didn't yield very much. I found absolutely no information on the four sided strop.
