Name for strops
I think the name for strop in german is streichreimen.
Does anybody know what it is in french?

If you search for cuir on ebay.fr you get a whole bunch of gags and so on! Only autostrops found using "strop"

In Hebrew, a "strop" (n) is: רצועת השחזה (sharpening belt); "to strop" or "stropping" (vt) is להשחיז ברצועת השחזה (to sharpen on a strop).
When I first got to Israel (1/1980), there were still old men from Europe, who would come around once-a-week, going door-to-door, sharpening knives and scissors.
Since both sides of my family are from the Ukraine (Minsk and Zatslav), part of the unfolding appeal of wetshaving for me is this "bridging a 'lost generation'" through the shaving and associated hardware and its regular maintenance.You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
