Here are some of my favorite oldies;
Left to right
-Awesome 700C Certifyd Russian. Like Tc's old Tokyo strop, it was owned and rubbed by Yamamoto the Japanese Barber. Such a lovely thing to strop on!
-A Wagner Shell 3357. Butter. Pure Butter!
-Hess #100 clydesdale shell. Pure stropping bliss!
-NOS Tripoli boarhide. Most effective strop I have, I think.
-NOS Certifyd Camel 124. Talk about thick! Is it camel-hide? Likely horse!
Mighty soft and limber to be so thick.
Here it is next to a pen...
A seemingly very grungy pen.Last edited by sharptonn; 03-02-2018 at 02:24 AM.

Sharptonn,
Anytime you need a strop tester give me a shout, I would love to compare what I currently have to a truly vintage piece of leather, the closest I have is my Kanayama 50and according the the seller it’s about 8 years old and that’s old but not truly vintage, the rest of my small strop collection are all recently produced by either Tony Miller or Alastair Summer with Westholme."A Honer's adage "Hone-Shave-Repeat"

I only have one, a Dubl Duck (Pardon the just so so cell phone pic.)
Works really nicely especially on thin hollow ground blades.

Awesome strops everyone! I have a few vintage Shells. Your guys seem very supple and have great luster! How is this accomplished?

Mostly because they were in great shape to start with, a little tlc goes a long way with a great piece of leather. Tc Originally Posted by BWH1980
