Thanked: 458The kanayama 80k I had was like eating premium ice cream vs. eating frozen flavored ice (much smoother). I have strops that are broken in that do a little better than my 80k kanayama, but comparing a glazed up horse butt strop with 750 strop sessions on it to a brand new razor isn't fair. I'm sure had I kept the kanayama, it would've developed that slickness on the surface and been heavenly and super.
Plus, it's shell. Where else is anyone going to get new shell cordovan? I really like cheap horse butt strip if a clear section can be found, but it's rough until it's broken in, which probably takes 2500 strokes. Before that, it marks a razor a little bit.
The kanayama premium stuff is very fine, and unlike some of the dissenters seem to be implying, not by any means a $100 strop with a $300 price tag.
