When I was a Boy Scout (25 years ago), I had a local Leathersmith make me a leather broad rim hat for a hiking trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. I never forgot about him and still have that hat to this day.
When i got into wet shaving, I thought of him again, only to find he closed his shop. Lucky for me he now works out of his garage. I contacted him to make me a strop. He made me this one out of English bridal leather. I couldn't be happier, I think he did a great job. He has over 50 years of leather experience. Guys like him are a dying breed unfortunately.
He he also gifted me a piece of bridal leather to apply chromium oxide if needed. And he did it for a price I couldn't believe :)
super excited to to strop my first razor. Attachment 220029Attachment 220030
