Thread: too good to be true?

Anybody had experience with this place? Leather Hanging Strops

We used to see many posts about star shaving quite some time ago but don't lately. I don't know if they have changed or not but based on the previous posts I would urge caution and investigate the old threads.

I like my 3" "Big Daddy" strop....

The strops are very good quality. I have yet to hear anything bad about the leather on the forums. The only issues I have heard have been about communication or shipping. I have the big Daddy and it has been a wonderful strop for the past three years.

You can buy a pce of very High grade strop leather for $6.00,the rest of the hardware,maybe 8 bux max,do the math.

I have a Big Daddy as well. It's a great first strop and a great value. I have since upgraded to a Walking-Horse horsebutt strop. I still use the Big Daddy to apply chromium oxide to my razors.

There have been a few threads about bad communication and things like that. As far as I know he is a one man show and had some bumpy health issues a while back. I have dealt with him a couple of times and had no issues. The strops are ok, and replacement leather is inexpensive.

Yeah if its the same place I am thinking about (the sites been spruced up a bit - though his pictures still suck lol), the guy has been around for a while.

From everything I have heard (never bought myself), its like buying a Lada. It'll get you where you want to go, but you might walk a bit being you're always parking down the way lol.
