That is a truly beautiful custom strop MrMagnus.

Thanks @JBHoren !!
She really did a great job
The other arm isn´t tattooed yet ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Really, really cool. Great shading, and I love how you have left space between them but filled it in with the little stars and dots...

In regards to the grip on the razor, etc, yes, of course, each to their own. I don't think very many hold their razor with as loose a grip as I do; with only one finger on top of the tang...
