That’s a lot of strop material.

Looks like it’s had a lot of use. It’ll be interesting to follow your process for cleaning it up and getting it “strop-ready”.

Paul, that is a very classy looking razor. Congrats.

I have given up on this package.

Some are just a bit long or too thick. Some have included material...

Congratulations. You had some good karma working for you with that find.

Enjoy it. I am a confirmed coticule user and love the edges I get fro mine.

I often finish a coti edge with chromium oxide on a paddle strop just to squeeze that last little bit of keen from...

Just trying to imagine what that will look like when the mailman delivers the package. It sure won’t fit in the community mailbox.

Electronic bidet toilet seat? :hmmm:

Also not bad as an antiperspirant.

They do not seem to wear down at all. Mine is almost 5 years old. Mind you, I don't use it unless I have pink lather now that I’ve discovered Thaters.
