Hello,

My dad is coming to Canada in May and may be bringing a straight razor and a leather strop from a baber who while still working as a barber has cut my dad's hair (when my dad was a child) and has also cut my hair when I was young. As far as I know, the straight razor is from England and is not being used anymore because people prefer disposable blades straight. I prefer to wait and see before getting too excited.

The purpose of my thread is to get people's opinions on whether it's okay to use a pre-owned (and heavily used) strop knowing that there is no way I will be able to sanitize it 100%.

Thank you for your input.
