Thread: Aberdeen imported Scotch Shell strop

I have a c-mon deluxe strop that was NOS when I got it. Linen side is treated with wax. Seems to me it was intentional by the manufacturer. I have used it several times and it has been no problem for the blades I've used to with. Possibly has even bumped up the keenness of the edge. I like the treated linen on my vintage strop. Maybe try it with a user grade razor before you wash it. See if you like it also.
