Thread: a strop to buy where ?

hi everyone,

this lately i need a good strop at least 50 60 cm (only strop parts and not the handle etc.) there is ZY from china but it's not very good to make a razor shave ready. i looked on amazon but there is not any i like. as i'm in France, i look in europeen union otherwise it will cost too much.

also i have another question; where do you strop ? i don't mean which room in the house. at my old appartement i was putting my old strop on the window in living room. as i moved to my new appart, there is not anywhere i can put my strop and work on blades. so do you have any ideas to make a place to hang my next strop ? i just don't want to put a nail on the wal, it will be looked not so elegant.

I guess you know that in France there are the Chewbacca stops and my own preference there, Requin's rasoir-sabre offerings by way of a side-detour to Turkey these days--or is it the other way 'round? Also Torolf's Scrupleworks offerings from EU-ambiguous Norway.

In my bathroom, I have a hook installed at a navel-high level, where I attach the strop before and after the shave. Afterwards, the strop is stored away in a closet in the neighboring hallway, away from bathroom humidity. In the short term, with a shoelace by way of attachment, a nearby doorknob usually does the trick. Best to store the strop away from the bathroom when not in use in my opinion.

En tout cas, bonne continuation.

thanks for reply. requin's articles are too expensives and now he lives in another country so this means it will cost more than its price.

otherwise i don't like the other guy (some artisans prefere to make money and not to be wise and firendly with other users.) so that's why i look for other ones. :/

I've sent a couple of emails/PMs to friends in your part of the world. Hopefully they can be of some help.

thanks a lot. That is very gracious of you ^^

SRD has reasonably priced replacement leather - it might be worth sending an email to inquire about shipping.
