    Default Kanoyama Strop Appreciation thread

    I am hoping to stop by Mr. Naumi's place
    to check in on him in the next few weeks.
    This craftsman spent seventy years making
    Kanoyama cordovan strops and has recently
    retired. I was thinking of a way to show my
    appreciation and wondered if others would
    like to as well. So, here is the plan:

    Post a picture of your favorite razor and
    a Kanoyama strop. Just one razor and one strop.
    Follow the guidelines, please. I will make a PDF of
    all of the pictures along with a note of appreciation
    in Japanese, get it printed at Kinko's and give it to Mr. Naumi.
    The deadline for contributions is April 19th.

    Let's show some love, guys...

    I think that would be a lovely tribute. It would be a good idea to start a new thread.
    I wonder if Naomi San realises how revered his workmanship is?

    Not sure what you mean...isn't this a "new thread"?

    Sorry think I've had too many beers! Thought it was a part of another Kanayama thread I was looking at.
