    Default Scrupleworks Shell Cordovan

    Wait a minute, you say! Torolf doesn't offer Shell Cordovan.. And you'd be right ... Except in this case.

    I requested this of my friend Torolf, and he agreed to make it happen! 2 1/2' inch Black Horween Shell Cordovan with Natural Linen. Barbers ends with natural leather trim .. the longest piece he could get out of the shell.
    Torolf's craftsmanship is second to none, and to say I'm over the moon would be an understatement!

    There was also something else in the box that will be discussed further after some testing. Until then, feast your eyes on an incredible strop!

    I think I am developing a strop issue. Those look very very nice.

    Did that knitted rose heart come with the strop?
    Even if it didn't, that is a handsome piece of work!

    I finally got my Imperial Shaving Black Cordovan after a very long wait. It's three inches wide and almost 30 inches long. Quite the monster.

    I guess those black Cordovans are the ultimate strops. Hope you enjoy using yours as much as I do mine.
