Thanked: 151Home-Made Strop 4 Pics
Here is a strop that I recently made. It has a tin, that is for my personal use. I have no clue as to what the cloth portion actually is, though it feels like old school burlap like was used for fertilizer sacks. It seems to work well, though its hard for me to tell. My razors are already honed to the HHt prior to stropping. The leather is vegetable tanned leather dyed black and has a very nice surface. It has brass Chicago screws and 2" D's. The cloth is riveted, sown and wrapped to prevent unraveling. I would love to know your thoughts. This strop was cut 3.5" because of the width of the cloth material. Its easy to use, though I am sure it might be considered too wide. I would also like to know the best way to test a strop.
