Good to see you posting Neil.


Regarding the color of the back of Horween shell, Erwin Schrodinger once said a strop-back is neither tan nor black until we take it out of it's box and look at it. Nobel Prize for it, no joke. But I do believe the time has come to speak of other things. Of sailing ships and ceiling wax, cabbages and kings.

I used to have a girlfriend who's dad was named after Lewis Carroll...

Going all scientist on us again, name dropping, blurring the difference between Schrodinger's cat and our beloved British tabby......"Most everyone's mad here"

For the OP, I know nothing about the color of the reverse side of a genuine Horween strop, but doing a google search for 'Horween Cordovan Razor Strop' yielded this photo.

I noted that fact long, long ago. But I was brought up 'genteel' like and taught not to take advantage of dumb mofos as you all must know by now, so I never brought up the fact, obvious as it was.

However, as you yourself have pointed out the obvious you share the distinction with our dear friend from down-under, Ed, of being as mad as a box of frogs.

Don't you go claiming that as one of your own, now....

Just remember folks, every cloud has a silver lining - except for those eastern knock-off ones that are lined with lead and give you lead poisoning at the same time as soaking you half to death. This is technically a no win situation.

Indeed, what's on the back is of no consequence with this being upon the front!
