Well, I finally broke down and pulled the trigger on the Kanayama 90000.
As luck would have it, they're having a sale....!
I'm looking forward to it, I've heard lot's of good things. I talked to Jim a little via email. They're also doing different color stamps on the strops now. Blue, Green, etc..I stuck with the Gold. I think it looks good.

I've heard members on here talk about razors with etched/worked spines leaving scratch marks on the strop? Anybody have any input...?
