Thread: Looking for a Strop

I am looking for a gently used beginner strop preferably with a linen side. I ruined mt previous strop learning how to strop. Please let know if you have one you no longer need. I am eager to get my razor back from honing so I can get started.

How much are you willing to invest?

Does anyone know what shipping to canada is like for ruprazor? I was going to just order something from Tony but he's got other things going on right now unfortunatly.

You should go to his site and ask him -- I believe he provides some contact info there. He is quite responsive.

I also think you'll find that Ken is a class act and his products are top notch. I have two of his strops.

Enjoy!

The Filly has minimal drag -- it's a very smooth strop with easy glide.

Good luck!

I just purchased this strop, im brand new to straight blades. So.....this one doesnt have a handle at all? How do you have it set up?

+1 on the top notch, I purchased my first razor from him, it does not dissappoint. I also had him sharpen up 2 ebay razor, they are still sharp.
