Broke my OLD strop, what can I do?
As my name suggest, I am very young and most of what I know about shaving was learn-by-air stuff. I got the concept of stroping and all, but recently I nicked my strop, and only recently I accidently made the cut bigger(almost halfway through the strop.
The strop I am using, which is from 1928-1935(no exact number.) It is a Valet Autostrop VC2. The "Million Dollar Razor" and the strop for it is my concern, since I don't know how to repair it. I would buy another one, but as far as I know, the only way to get that exact kind of strop is on ebay. Which are used and come with another razor.
So can I get it repaired? If so, what will I need to repair it with(I tried glue before, it worked momentarily and then the cut revealed again) and I kinda stripped away some of the leather(on the backside) when I removed the glue. But it would still function if I could seal the cut.
If not, how can I get a new one, if possible?
I really like my autostrop, gives me real nice close shaves, I got 4 razors and only 1 of them is sharp and I don't want to use it until I know my strop is going to work again.
