Big daddy English bridle

**Wxman2000** · 12-08-2013, 05:00 AM

So I couldn't decide on what to get myself for Xmas from an earlier post, and decided that you know what? Is really like another strop. So I ended up going with a Star Shaving big daddy 3" bridle. Anyone have any experience with these and what I can expect? My current strop is a Standard SRD latigo.

I have the 2 1/2 inch one, but it actually measured 2 7/8. Anyway I have been using it for awhile now and haven't had any complaints yet. Mine I would say had a medium draw when I got it and still does. Does what it is supposed to.

I have the same just Make sure you read the break in instructions when you get it and all will be fine, mine works well but I have no other to compare it to.
There is a couple of posts on here about breaking them in also

Hi bongo,
Is it still going strong? Do you have others to compare it with, and how does it compare?

Ed, It's the only strop I have and if I buy another one, it'll be a 3" as well !!
Just too convenient for me to go less than 3".
It's doing just fine.
I might consider a 3" from Maggard Razors though....

So if I may be so bold, how were you stropping your razors from December to June? Or were you honing them every day?

I only have the one strop too, and that's 3"
