Thread: First attempt at restore

That is a shell horse hide strop which is different than a normal horse hide strop. They are very good strops. No nicks so it is just clean, condition, break it back in and use.

Randy is the man! I have a couple HESS strops and have only good things to say about them. Yours is a lot nicer than a couple of mine when they arrived here and they are now pleasant to see and use.. Look up "Hidestoart" and he has some great strop cleaning and renewing info buried here and there throughout the threads.
HESS is still in business but not like they were and caters to Beauty salons and still some Barbers.
