the Specs
1 off Natural coloured 3” Vegetable tanned horse hide with 3" natural linen and black & natural 3ply handle, giving me a new stropping area of 3"x16" (48"sq)
1 off 3” natural linen hanging strop - for a pasted option when I can bring myself to paste it
1 off Practice strop from the Horween oil tanned horse hide - you gotta sample the leathers competition LOL
did a quick 50/100 laps on the razor next in line to use,
my initial verdict straight out of the box is as follows:
Overall appearance the leather looks & feel great & I love the contrasting stitching
The Handle leather & shape feel good in the hand - but will take a bit to get used to as this is my first handled strop LOL
I definitely like the Linen, it feels different to me coarse but slick (only compared to my 2 year old felt that is rather broken in & smooth but has a bit of a grippy feel compared to the linen) but I know it will smooth out & soften with use also,
now the steel on this leather feels slick without any rubbing even
Now I know this is only going to get better with regular use as my 2 year old Bridal is now relegated to post honing stropping
& this bad boy will be the new King for all Pre & post shave stropping
A big thank you to Torolf & the Scrupleworks team for these beautiful items
