Thread: J Tarnow Company Strop

I inherited this from my dad over 30 years ago and know nothing about it other than that there was a Tarnow company in Toronto that sold barber supplies and equipment. I think they may still be functioning.



The top markings indicate it is genuine shell and “broke-in”. The bottom markings indicate it is from Japan.







I haven’t been able to find anything on the internet and would appreciate any additional information anyone on SRP can add.

It’s a little scuffed and has what look like small cracks in the surface near the bottom markings and one small nick on the right side. I have used neatsfoot oil SPARINGLY and the surface is quite supple. It has a fairly slick draw.
