I think you must have meant that he should stop or abate that stroperbating or else he'll go blind...

i also have the 80k on its way also with a free razor from jimR. I don't think there that expensive when you consider your getting an extra strop as the 80 k comes in a trio plus cover. i sold my 50k it was as new. I missed the leather side so much i orderd the 80k. i also use tm horshide and now and then litigo . The linen i love on my tm. i would say there is no differance in performance ,except my tm linen performs better than the stiff linen on kanayama that the only section i did'nt like so much , as for the kanayama leather it so supple and nice to strop on any one would love it.

My Kanayama Supecial Quality strop with handles is my go to strop. Not the "u" behind the "S". I guess it is not as thick as the top shelf Kanayamas but thicker ain't necessarily better. It will survive you unless, maybe, you are a professional honemeister.

I got a 60000 not long ago from Jim. It's a beautiful strop, and has a lovely feel to it while using it. The leather is very supple, and it has the perfect amount of draw IMO. So yes, this Kanayama stropper is happy.

Happy ? In general I am as Abraham Lincoln said, "a man can be as happy as he makes up his mind to be."

As far as the strop goes ...., I bought a 90,000 back when Scott at Rasage Poulin was the distributor for the high end Kanayamas. I haven't ever used it. I take it out of the box every now and again and stroke the leather with my fingertips. The thought that I might miscue with a razor ......

**Birnando** · 09-13-2010, 05:55 PM

Yup, this Kanayama user is very happy with it's performance!
I think it has the perfect amount of draw, the second leather my 90000 came with is really nice too.
the third strop is a strange creature, it feels very coarse on the razor, but really isn't. I enjoy this set a lot.

ah my 8ok came today, what a piece of kit. the second leather is like sheep skinn and so nice and the leather is perfect draw as every one else says. i will be using this on a daily basis. i also got a free japanese razor which is real nice thanxs JimR

You're paying for the process used to make it and the fact it is handmade in low production. Is it different than a plain cowhide strop? yes it's more luxurious to use. Does it do a better job than a cowhide strop? No I don't think so and I have one.

I agree, and I have a 70000..Beautiful workmanship and hardware,
MIke
