Thread: Westholm Shell Cordovan

I can’t say enough good things about my new strop. I waited about two years. Right when I’d decided to order one Alistair took an 18 month leave. A couple months after he started making strips again he sent me a note. He had told me he had to shop for Cordovan then when he was going through everything he messaged he had a beautiful Burgundy and a black piece more than enough for a 3” strop. I had mine made with standard barber end and it comes with flax linen strop as well. It’s the first Cordova leather I’ve ever had. I’m impressed with the workmanship and detail. It’s strops incredible. The draw is fast and it will really put a mirror polish on the edge. For a high end strop I recommend Westholm Strops.

Beautiful strop, congratulations.
Alistair is a gent and his strops are first class.

That's one sweet looking strop. Good stuff.

wow..very nice

Congratulations, there is nothing like a good shell cordovan.

That sure is pretty

I have to treat myself ..one of these days. Iam still running the first and only red Latigo SRP strop for 10 years now.

Then its about broke-in, at this point.
But I know what ya mean, wouldn't mind one myself... Don't have one of those.

Wow, that is simply beautiful-classy and elegant without all the fancy appointments. Enjoy stropping nirvana!

What a beauty. Is he making strops again?
