Thread: kangaroo strop

Nyeh...Bit rough I think... Do the job though.

my roo strops are looking much better, IMHO

Pretty nice stuff there! For those who have tried both, how do these compare to Látigo or bridle?

I find the draw to be comparable to latigo.

Maybe some day...

Carpe diem!

Much nicer than the first one. Good work.

You should see my bullwhips Mick. Not as good as Mike Murphy but not too shabby

I've thought of trying one, but I think it might tend to jump a bit. Would be nice to store my shaving brush in the pouch though.

I've been using Kangaroo leather as my sole strop now for quite a few years. They do not jump, skip etc. In fact, they provide immediate feedback to the stropper through both hands due to their thinness - you do not get this same level of feedback using a traditional thickness strop. If you want to see one in action, I am using it in both my shaving routine video and my extreme stropping video. I've had many strops over the years, but I have found the edges I can produce off the Kangaroo leather to be the best I've ever had. If you can get past the idea that thin is "bad" and learn to use one properly, in time you are in for a world of eye-opening stropping, IMO.
