Illinois Razor Strop Company branded strops
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could provide information on the strops currently manufactured today under this brand. I believe that Fromm International is the manufacturer of these strops now. Are these strops made in the United States, or are they made elsewhere? Overall, how is the quality of these strops? They seem to retail for a decent price, but do you end up getting what you pay for? I do have to say that I like the vintage styling on these strops. I wish more modern strops would have the nice vintage styling of yesteryear (I do know that the Kanoyama strops have a nice vintage look.).
I have read that old Illinois Razor Strop Company strops were really well made in the past. I have also read that the current strops are not made of horsehide - is that true?
What differentiates the models, outside of size and shape? Does the draw differ appreciably between models?
Thanks for any comments and help.
