Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I have been on here, work gets in the way of life sometimes! Recently just bought a Deluxe English Bridle 3" strop from SRW Strops. Man this thing is the most heavy duty strop I have come across, I haven't even had a chance to use it yet, I will post some pics tomorrow with my Saturday morning shave.
Does anyone else have any experience with these strops?
Happy shaving!
First I have heard of them. Let us know how they work out for you.
Yeah Australian based, I will keep you posted about the performance but just looking at it the quality is second to none.Quote:

Yeah I'm Australian that's how I came across them, I'm always looking for new shaving gear in aus because the freight from the USA is a killer.Quote:

The leather is quite thick and heavy around 4mm but still has a nice feel when stropping. Slickest draw!Quote:

You won't be disappointed! Which one are you looking at buying?Quote:

The cotton side is great, seems to perform really well and it is really heavy duty like the leather. So far I have found 30 strokes on the cotton followed by 80 on the leather seems to be a good combination. I haven't stropped a freshly honed razor on it yet.Quote:
