Thread: CKTG $20 Strop

Leather Strop - Hanging Barber Strop 3" x 18"


Don't get it...

I took a gamble and it didn't pay off, I should have known it was to good to be true. So I'm passing this along to others so they don't waste there money as well.

Mine arrived in box appropriately packaged with no visible signs of shipping damage. The inner / product packaging was simply a plastic unsealed bag with a button snap. So I took a gander at the face of the strop and man If i where a betting man I would say someone had tried it out, in a bad way. The face had a deep mar about 4 inches long on the top portion longways about a 1/16" deep and down about the 1/3 point on the strop a horizontal scuff which I would even venture looks to be a slight cut from a bad blade rotation. Despite these issues the overall face was still fairly inconsistent or heavily textured grain for what I would consider not smooth enough to strop on as a medium. I have to believe that it would introduce more misalignment than fix, so I'm not putting my razors on it and returning it.

Live and Learn as they say.

I'm posting several photos of the issues as well as a zoomed in spot of the harsh grain for your eyes.
