    Not to worry.
    Last I checked you cannot get roo shoes in
    California USA... roo leather was illegal to
    import for shoes and perhaps other purposes too.

    Well obviously any strops I would be sending to California would be made from our rare antipodean jumping pygmy cows then.

    I'm pretty sure you can get it here in London as well.

    You can also get kangaroo meat, which is very tasty and is pretty similar to venison. A useless factoid for you this morning..!

    Roo is good eating, and the leather is really good. And there are millions of Red and Grey roos thanks to all the water points through out the outback provided by pastoralists for their cattle and sheep

    Cheers

    So can I order my roo hind quarter from you? I'd like one roo hindquarter and one strop to go.

    Would you like fries with that? Also, for an extra 39 cents we'll put our famous roo sauce on the side.

    I have a Kangaroo strop that is my go-to strop for final laps. Yes, the leather is thin, but I love that about it and the feel is great. Razors respond very well to it.

    When I get some extra money I'm going to have to just buy a hide and dive into making a few strops, especially after your response Alex. By the way, the Tally-Ho wedge you sold me is still pumping great shaves our like nobody's business and is my go-to razor.
