Interesting antique strop
Gentlemen,
Once again a curious item I found on ebay I wanted to share with you.
ANTIQUE VICTORIAN STRAIGHT RAZOR STROP VINTAGE SHAVING - eBay (item 220381027817 end time Mar-29-09 19:59:32 PDT)
I dont know if you could still use it (or want to for its age
) but there you go. Great item by the way. Maybe worth replacing the leather for every day use, can´t be that hard.

Forum member The Topher has something like it if not the same model. He demonstrated it for me. I would say it is a cool novelty but not a practical strop to maintain a razor. Just my 2 cents.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Back when I used to spend too much time on ebay, I noticed that those were surprisingly common. I would guess that a couple years ago there was at least one of them listed every two or three weeks.

That's neat, first i've seen anything like that, but I agree with it being more novelty than practical...
