Thread: Vegan Friendly Strops?

Tony, if you need additional testers, I know a guy named Ilija, who might be interested

Slut!

Maybe a large, semi moist block of Tofu would provide sufficient draw

How many vegans do you think actually shave with straight razors?

Good question and part of why I made this post. I remember last time it was mentioned there were quite a few guys interested in a non-leather strop but I don't remember if any suitable material was found. I know a few vegans myself and they also tend to be conservative in other areas concerning waste. I would think disposable razors would be soemthing they would like to avoid as well.


The material I have tried has no end to the draw. One has to use quite a light touch because of the friction. Looks like leather (sort of), feels like leather (more so) and strops like leather.

Might just have to send one out for testing.

Meh, nobody lives forever Actually, the reason I'm getting a bike now as opposed to 5 years ago is that I would have killed myself then and now I feel that I should be ok.

I remember someone offering himself as a tester near the beginning of the thread

DANG IT, I am a slut

Now Now Guys,

I'm a full-fledged vegan and have been a vegan for 23 years. Does that work for y'all. Sorry, I know this is an old thread but I'm about to purchase a couple of Tony's remaining vegan strops, which is the only kind of strop I would buy unless I was going to make my own.

Sounds like someone re-discovered Naugahyde, the cruelty-free fabric made from the shed hides of the Sumatran Nauga: http://www.naugahyde.com/history.html

Cool website Robert but I'm not using the rare Naugas <g> This is a much different material.

remember that stuff they were using as a shoe leather substitute a few years back? I think it was named Corfram or something like that. It was real popular in military circles because it always looked well shined. How about that?
