In recent times, a fair bit has been written about high end strops. Shell Cordovan, the better steer hide strops. From Tony Miller, Kanayama and the SRD horse hides. It is true that re strops, they all do basically the same job. They are an accoutrement to many fine collections of straight razors. Lot's of us own many razors, and it is a little more fashionable to have more than one strop. Most start out with a strop that you can 'learn' on, or nick or cut without losing lots of cash. I was happy for 3 years on my two 3 Inch strops. One Latigo and another English bridle. Then I discovered Shell Cordovan and the Kanayama strops. I bought a #10000 and was thrilled with it. I added a suede piece, and I was hooked. The lovely delicate draw, appearance, feel. They were great. Now, with a little strop acquisition disorder, I have added 3 more, 2 #70000's, and an #80000. did I need them? Probably not, but want, is the key word. I am rapturous over their performance. True, like razors and other shaving items, I am prone to 'collecting' things of beauty, thus my Kanayama collection. Many of our members, lots who are pre-eminent in the straight shaving world, have more than one Kanayama. What are your experiences with higher end strops? I just love them, enjoy them, some I on-sell, and some are just for playing with now and again. I am interested, Do others share my passion for lovely strops?
