This is my second one I snagged off the bay. First one I'm using now, needed a little tlc. Did anyone else see it? These strops are Rock Stars!:rock:

Pix , pix, we need pix ............ :mexwave:
Well, the second one is not here yet. But I can post my first one. Hold on....here we go...
No cracking but some innocuous cuts along the rim. I love the smell of it, heavy pipe tobacco... I think that is why it was in such nice supple condition, it was saturated with nicotine oils. Oh, and yes I did install a new firehose.... saved the older linen one and put it on my old Carborundum branded strop.

My favorite strop. I got one off ebay about seven years ago. I use it daily.Quote:

Congrats on the new acquisition.
Bad news, leather is hard, dried out beyond repair. Back side was so bad you could easily dig the leather out with your finger nail. I really wanted this one to because it was virtually flawless otherwise. Well the canvas was dark brown that that could have been easily remedied. She's going back for a refund. I'll keep my eyes open for the next one......:beer1:
