Wow. I am going to use that picture whenever the wife asks if I need any more strops. Obviously I do.

Obviously...you owe it to yourself to add one of Tom's Tripoli Boar-hide #941 strops to your meager collection -- exquisitely restored NOS panels, sweet poly linen, and the same 2-1/2" size as your Kanayamas. Originally Posted by alex1921

I have both of these strops, for the money I'd pick the Roo. I really like it and it was just about half as much as the Kanayama 80000. Plus dealing with Gabe is always pleasurable. Originally Posted by Speedster

Here is Tony's Web site: For the price, his strops can't be beat whether lower end for beginner or higher end. He would be where I would've shopped from the beginning, had I been better informed: The Well Shaved Gentleman The Heirloom Razor Strop Company

Gabe's Roo strops are one of the best strops I've used. I like a light touch on a strop and the Roo provides that for me.

Razor Emporium has very nice 3” wide Strops in most leathers.
