    Well, the good news. I was able to repair that cut.

    The bad news.. I put another cut in this strop today, using it for the first time in a week. Did it during my post shave 20 strokes...

    This razor gives me fits sometimes stropping. It has a really large tang on it and get away from me sometimes when flipping.

    Usually i catch myself before continuing the stropping motion though....


    Pretty soon I will have tried the entire SRD line of leather and have a graveyard of abused strop leather.

    Crown GR stamp, do my eyes deceive me? If that is a King George era razor, no wonder it cuts the strop-it hates all us bloody continentals! He had syphilitic general paresis, too. Don't shave with it, for God's sake! Please send it to me before it's too late.

    I have a huge Joseph Rodgers and sons To her majesties razor (7/8) wedge and it can be tricky to strop. It's a great razor though, it mows through hair.

    what width is your strop? since i got my 3 inch wide one, I've not had a nick yet.& I've used it much longer than my previous one. .. looks like your nick was from the razor slipping off the strop, (like i did many times with the 2 inch one i had previously). I have yet to have my blade slip off my 3 inch SRD. so no nicks
