    Default Antique for 10 strops

    Gents, I did not buy this for an obvious reason when you look at one of the photos. But I did think it was interesting and IF I were to win the loto I might have purchased, but have any of you seen something like this before and what would you call it - besides expensive :-)

    That's a beautiful piece but wayyy too expensive for my pockets!

    I would call it "damned expensive". Even if I was full of money I would sneer and pass it up.

    Wow, I would like to display some of my razors...but I have yet to have a strop (let alone TEN) that I would want to put in a glass case.

    Guess I am too much of a noob for that

    The money is probably in the case, not the strops for the most part. If I had to guess.

    I see a C-Mon in there. I have a couple of different models of that strop. Wish I knew what the rest of them are. Not that I am interested beyond academically. That antique vendor has to hope that one of those crazy guys from SRP will come in right after payday.
