    rcf1023 I know this is not what you want to hear but you must settle this issue with your vendor to your satisfaction.

    Thank you I know it is not sitting right with me, I'm confused because they are answering my every question I want to trust them, the guy has no idea and has to have his guy or something let him know where he got it, do you know what it is? As you know I want them to be legitament if it's horween or not

    Why is it hidden in a closet & what is a "horween" ?

    Take several better photos for us, please.

    I just googled Bison Made Strops. Their strops appear to be a well made. (It's difficult to tell from your picture). Bison Made Strops have cotton/linen for the secondary strop material. Usually top grade leather strops have pure 100% linen as their secondary strop material. There may have been less expensive options available with better quality.

    The decision to keep the strop is yours and yours alone. It's very easy to nick and cut a new strop during the learning phase of your S.R. shaving journey. You may want to (save this strop or return it) until your honing skills improve. Purchase a less expensive strop for your training purposes.

    Company in Chicago IIRC that supplies the best cordovan shell, horsehide, and other leathers to the trade, strop makers but more shoe and clothing makers. To the original poster, don't use it and wait and see if they explain it to your satisfaction. If not shoot for a refund, either through paypal or your CC company.
    Hirlau, WW243 and Filobiblic like this.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
