Thread: Heirloom Razor Strop Co. & The Well Shaved Gentleman

My synthetic Vegan Friendly strops are back and now available in a 3" width !

I have listed a bunch of vintage linen firehose on my website for the DIY guys. This is from 1964, genuine linen, unused but a take out from an old building. Fairly clean but a few small stains and the inevitable folds. Selling 26" pieces to allow for shrinkage in washing and also offering with a kit of hardware to complete your own strop.

Running a little sale on my storefront for the next week or two. $10 off all of my Horsehide, Roughout, Plain and Vegan strops.

My Premium Steerhide is back again after 8 months. A nice, nearly flaw free firm leather with a nice smooth, light draw. Available in 2 1/2" and 3" widths with D-ring grips or heavy 3-ply handles and either cotton or Genuine Flax Linen.

Also running a little sale on the last pieces of my Steerdovan, a fast, Cordovan like steerhide. I have a single 3" stop left in black and a pair of 2 1/2" strops in brown. All with D-ring grips and cotton. Handles can be added upon request and I can still make one of the 2 1/2" strops with a traditional, straight cut end if desired.

If I didn’t have one of each, I’d buy one right now.

I bought the Steerdovan. Talk about Greased Lightening. This thing is super fast. I thought my Roo was fast when i got it. Not compared to this one. Tony says it will slow down after some use. Nice piece added to my collection. Thanks Tony!

Glad you like the Steerdovan. Have just a few piece left right now.

I must say ive stropped at least 15 razors on it and it is still slick as snot! It may be getting a little draw now. Maybe! Guessing 2k+ laps.

Tony I have used your red latigo for ten years now... finally decided to get another and purchased your horsehide. Very happy with it, and a nice compliment to the heavy-draw latigo... It's also a beautiful piece of leather that looks like it will age well.

I wish I had ordered linen a decade ago (my latigo has the cotton), but at least I have it now!

I was finally able to source 3" Genuine Flax Linen once again. It has been a few years since I was able to offer this and I am glad to have it back. I have updated my storefront to make this an option on any of my 3" Artisan grade strops.

This is a firm, but flexible material with no stretch and a nice herringbone weave. Nice natural woodsy aroma as well ! Genuine linen has a slightly abrasive surface to it and many feel it aids in achieving sharpness over standard cotton webbing.

2" and 2 1/2" genuine Flax Linen is also available.
