Thread: Looking for a new strop.. I need suggestions!

Hey SRP,

As of yesterday, I've abandoned the beard I'd been growing & now I'm in the mood to treat myself. I've decided for now that my budget is in the $100 dollar range. I'm looking for something wide, preferably a 2''1/2 to 3'' width.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Most of their strops will fit your budget and are absolutely top notch. I have the 3" Black Latigo strop with handles. I was going back and forth between it and the 3" Big Daddy from Star Shaving. Once it showed up at my door (super fast, I might add), I was really wondering why I had such a hard time deciding.

Plus, since they are the ones who provide us this little corner of the internet to share, learn and bond with each other, you'd be supporting those who support you.

Just my $.02, but trust me, you won't regret it.

Hey i ordered from them not too long ago but I cant get any one to answer me. It's been 2 weeks and i haven't Received It yet. Do you know anything about them or anything that could help me?

Which supplier are you speaking of?

SRD has some really good strops, and right in your price range. I have two of them, the roo and the premium IV both are awesome and at 3" just the size you are looking for. the leather and fabric are also replaceable so if you decide you want to try a different leather or fabric, or possible cut yours, down the road you won't have to buy a whole new strop

I agree with the SRD location, but I suggest you look-at-and-buy one of their Modular Paddle strops.

• NO need to anchor it to a wall or doorframe.
• NO worry about how taut to pull it.
• NO need for additional strops.

It's compact, it's easily packable/portable, and it lets you choose on what/which surface(s) to work. It's an all-around winner!

Tony Miller at the Well Shaved Gentleman will treat you right with a strop you'll cherish.

You can't go wrong with a strop from SRD. Their modular paddle strop is great. Happy hunting!

I bought an SRD Roo strop a couple of weeks ago and love it. I would do it with your money too!

I have 3 strops, and IMO, the Illinois #827 is the best strop I've used so far.

It's got a great draw, the linen is like a glass surface, it's impregnated with cerium oxide, really puts a nice edge on the blade, all round my keeper strop. And for approx $60, it's hard to beat....YMMV!
