    Default Star Shaving Strop, 3" Big Daddy

    I've been looking forward to this. I've only heard good things about their products,
    particularly their strops.

    I bought this (ebay) on 30th May and it arrived today,18th June which isn't so bad
    considering it has to come to Australia.

    Securely packaged with instructions for care and maintenence.
    3" wide, 28" overall, with 21" stropping area.

    The leather and felt strops appear to be of very good quality.
    Pictured with my 13/16" Kropp for scale.

    I have an identical one and really like it. It was my first strop and is still used often.

    Nice strop bongo, do you know what kind of leather it is? It looks very well made.

    I believe it is bridle leather.

    I got the same one also. No issues at all. My SRD latigo strop is nicer IMO although they both work very well. The latigo has more draw, I'm sure the big daddy can be ordered with latigo.

    I have one and have ordered replacement leather twice (they call me the Slasher). Wish I could quit cutting them up.
