Thread: New strop

Hey guys have been off the forums for a while. Since having a baby I've had my hands full. But I did want to share that I finally got a strop. It's an amazing strop that I got from a really nice fellow on here named hidestoart. It's a full 3 inches wide and has a really nice nylon component. I'll have pictures soon.

Congrats on the baby!!! Looking forward to the pictures!

Congrats on both counts!
Good to see you find time to pop in
Enjoy the little'un, it is a magic time!

Congrats on the new family addition Vegita!
Fatherhood is a beautiful thing.
Look forward to pictures, hopefully of both new additions.

Cheers
Pat

Here it is, I've developed a few flips of hide in each end of the strop from it being my first and learning. Don't know if it will affect my blade or not.

Nice looking strop, and congrats on the baby!

That is a good looking piece of leather.
There is a great thread that goes over strop repair here somewhere.
Have you considered practicing with something less detrimental to the strop?
If there is anything I can do let me know.

I've gotten the hang of it now, just wish I could take back all the flips of leather I've caused lol. I've been stropping with it for a while now and it doesn't seem to dull the edge on my straight. I can feel the flips with my razor when stropping though :/

nice thread, I tried to find this strop ,any suggestions? Red

Congratulations. We've got one on the way too, a baby not a strop, the strop came today
