Thread: 3" SRD Premium 1

It is my most used strop. It is a strop that should be part of every straight shaver's den!

Well, I got to shave after using it for the first time, and the results are great. Edge seems to be smoother across the entire length of the blade. Might be the 3 inch width really helping out in that department. I'm very glad I decided to upgrade.

Thanks for all the comments on the SRD Premium 1.. My new one arrived this morning and like previous writers i was very impressed with the quality and thickness of the leather and the robustness of the hardware i have no doubt it will perform as intended. the second strop is a webbing which i have absolutelay no experience of stropping a razor on but again going by the quality of the SRD Premium 1 i have no doubt it will cut the mustard or it would not be there ... I will comment on the strop again after i have used it a week or two.. Best Regards to all Scotchie

Hi folks used the premium 1 good number of times now and i like it very much it has a lovely feel to it the webbing part is rapid if you let it be and it makes a nice noise as the blade goes backwards and forwards stopped using my old favourite now and gifted it to my son..he will look after it and plenty stropping left in it still..
