    Default Here you go!

    Sorry it took so long! Life and such...

    This first one is so you can compare to the Amazon acquired Fromm strop. Not a bad strop, just I prefer the longer and wider Heirloom. That's not the leather, but the linen which is all that remains of that original strop. It was 30 bucks and IMO a little overpriced for what I got. It's there for a comparison in size and construction.



    Here's a closeup of the handle compared to the Fromm strop: big difference!





    And this is a closeup of the hook. All the material used are second to none!



    Here's one of my razor on the strop. No more x pattern for me! I never liked it because I always feel I'm not putting equal pressure on the whole blade. Still happens with this, but that's me, not the strop's fault.



    Close up of the handle construction. Three thick slabs of leather!



    That's it!

    Mannye, good show, my friend. That is a handsome strop. I have the 2.5 version and love it.
