    Default Folding/Fold-Away Strops?

    Hi guys - I was watching a film the other day and the guy was using a wooden strop that folded into itself - I thought this would be ideal for travelling but I'm unable to find any - does anyone have any idea where I might find such a strop? Or is it just a question of looking on eBay?

    Thanks guys

    Which one?

    I love the idea of a "travel straight razor box." I wish I was a bit more handy with my hand - I might build myself something like this:

    Name: hone 4.jpg Views: 228 Size: 24.5 KB

    Good enough looking box.

    Name: hone 1.jpg Views: 231 Size: 48.9 KB

    Inside - a stone and room for a straight or two.

    Name: hone 3.jpg Views: 213 Size: 38.0 KB

    But wait - flip it over and now you have two stones! I like it!

    A small paddle strop is probably the best bet for travel. It fits anywhere. Probably the folder is a vintage piece. I doubt anyone makes it now.

    Me thinks you are right! On both counts.

    I hear GREAT things about SRD's paddle. I don't know how many times I have nearly bought one only to get something else lol... sigh.
