    Default Is this a good strop?

    I recently bought a Kikuboshi razor so naturally I picked up this strop when I saw it[emoji1]
    It appears to be nice quality. Is anybody familiar with it and is it a decent strop?
    Thank you.

    Very nice, if I'm not mistaken, what you have there is a different branded Kanayama strop, or something very similar, the Kanayama strops I have, #3 and #6, and the old #8 I had, all were branded Llama...looks like a superb strop....

    Thank you! It looks like a nice on for my first hanging strop. I've been using a bench strop.

    Id say a Kanayama also, is it really slick when you strop? It's a great strop. Tc

    I'll find out tomorrow when I use it for the first time. Keep in mind the only thing I have to compare it to is a bench strop.

    +1 Too. Looks like kanayama fittings and logo. Have 1 new and a vintage pelican(also made by kanayama under different logo) and both are excellent strops.
