Well after going back and forth on purchasing a couple artisan makers and a Red Imp I went a totally different direction!
I have a 6000 Kanayama awaiting shipment!!!
To be honest I figured with the maker's age I'd better get one now and decide if I want another while I can.
I still have plans to get a TM and Srupleworks and put them in my collection, but for now it's a Kanayama!!!!!

I only have a Kanayama 3, which is the cheapest one, but it has a fantastic finish on it!
Congratulations.
My #3 and 60k are both great strops.
congrats. i dont think you will be dissatisfied. i use my #10000 every day and i also purchased a 70k but still have it bagged n' boxed.
I really love the suade strop my 70k came with. I think i had to order it seporate. Its so smooth id rather use it than the flat leather.
You guys are killing me. I keep looking at them but still just can't pull the trigger
You are in for a treat. It is basically true that a strop is a strop but three years ago I purchased a Kanayama #3 and I never looked back. I have had several other Kanayama strops in my online cart order queue but never pressed the buy button because I love my #3 and I really don't think as a minimalist I would improve much by having another. ENJOY YOURS!

I'm not sure how anyone here is a minimalist.
If so....How do you avoid the RAD?
By buying hundreds of razors, selling them all, then doing it over and over again - that's how we control RAD on SRP.....I think....Quote:

You know I went back and forth. Then I went back and forth so more. I was even looking at the vintage Red Imp. Not to sound morbid or like a jerk, but the maker's age is what tip the scale. I wish him many, many more years, but I usually deal with worse case scenarios (that's my deployment medicine side...plan for the worse and if doesn't happen you're good to go). I knew I wanted one (and most likely would want a second) and I know when he passes they will be hard to come by.
and as always I needed to feed one of my Acquisition disorders this month it was Strops, and some soaps I found 20% off.

Its very simple. Look at the membership list. Probably 75% of those guys haven't been here in years. They are the ones who kicked it.Quote:

I sold the #10000, bought another #70000, my acquisitions disorder flared up again and I ended up getting a spare, another #70000. That's not to mention I decided to complete my collection with an #80000. I'm thrilled with all of them.
