Thread: Auto strop Safety Razor Company

The blades are hard to find but regular SE blades can be modified. Or you can find them in antique stores or ebay some times.

I think Bruno was thinking of making some for someone before but you would have to be serious about wanting them. I dont think they would be on the cheep side. Plus the shipping.

Good video explaining the ins and outs.

those blades were not for auto strops.

I can certainly see modifying a modern blade to fit the razor but would there be any advantage and probably a disadvantage to stropping one?

These drop in perfectly. Shave great and last much longer than Feather DE blades. Thicker and heavier-duty I think.
Tale is Feather bought out Autostrop years ago....

Is that a regular feather single edge blade?

It is for certain older Feather razors and Autostrops. They also fit some high end SE's.
Seems you can get them in stainless or carbon. Check Ebay.

If his razor has " asymmetric bumps" it will only take the Feather blades. An earlier model would take despined and trimmed SE blades.

They say that it does no good to strop a new blade as their sharpness comes from a coating.
