I tried to post these links a few times and SRP froze up lol

I tried to put classic shaving on there too, look them up, but something isn't working. :shrug:

Buying cheap isn't cheap if you have to buy it twice...just saying, I've been there...

Just be patient and see what happens...

Maybe look into other strops for next time. I've strongly considered the SRD modular paddle strop many times.

Only reason I got my rich man strop from...

I'm Canadian. TPB is very Canadian.

Not a shot against you, I just wouldn't pay it any mind. The only thing you need to "worry" about is draw, and as thebigspendur said above, it doesn't affect performance at all...just personal...

I may be way off base here, but attaching grit rating to leather sounds like a marketing ploy designed by the unknowledgeable, targeted towards the less knowledgeable.

If you are...

Not sure what you mean about the ridge without pics but people will sometimes run a coffee mug or a glass bottle along the strop to break it in and recondition it with lather. I wouldn't use the...

How's the draw? Light or heavy?
