Thread: Roma Strops?

Hi gents,

Anyone heard of this brand? It seems that's a British brand, I don't know if they stopped the production long ago or not, nor the kind of strops they used to make.
Anyone has a catalog or a opinion about these strops?

Thanks

Strops are like razors. There are hundreds of brands out there. Unlike razors though where there are brands in vintage items that are well known, in strops I'm not aware of any names that jump out at you. The only exception are where razor companies sold strops and they really didn't make them just put their name on them but then again many razor companies didn't make em either.

Very nice !

Some time ago there was an auction for one of these - a NOS, apparently. But the leather was not like yours, it was lighter. I don't know if it was this way because, allegedly, it was unused or it was another kind of leather.

You are exactly right leather isn't dark.what happined i didn't read your responce early enough.i asked for help leather conditioning and someone suggested to use nevia hand cream.i did put cream on and come to cmputer read your responce went back and made picture .that is why it is so dark.
