G.B.S Ultra Wide Straight Razor Strop Handmade Barber Leather Razor Strop for Sharpening Razor, Knives & Tools Dual Sharpening Strap in Black and Maroon with Fine Edges blades 3" x 26" for Men

Rather than folding, it should be rolled and the unfinished side is facing You would then end up with a strap with a hump and then creased spots since you can't fold it back to flat or to a curved finished side out as you might have seen it in use. In addition, the black comes off on my hands. Would you know what that is? Does it come off with some kind of black dye? When you dye it, why do you dye it at The program could be of great value, though, if it wasn't so hampered by this stupid Hence, be aware of the above and when receiving wipe the item down with possibly alcohol so that the black dye does not stick to the item. (We wonder why they dye it black?) If you are worried about chemicals on your skin, wipe the black off until it is no longer visible. Ensure that both sides of the steak are well oiled. Take the one with two wings as an example The cost of getting to know all of this is three times higher. There is no need for anything more than a raw hide strip of 3" width The reason for its complexity. As with any belt, rolled inside out so that the finished side is relaxed when it is The grain of hide, like anything organic, has a particular direction, and the finisher burnishes the finished side for a particular.

Cutting the hair off is a new experience for me. I am in the midst of another rant. It was only after using this strop that I was able to properly perform the HHT test. The leather was sanded with 1500 sandpaper to get rid of wrinkles and an imperfection. On the leather, I rubbed generous amounts of coconut oil. I was surprised by how soft the leather was, as it didn't need to be as soft as my first one. An inch or two of the cloth is covered with chromium oxide. In order to begin with, I used the cromium side. Then I used the bare side. And then there was A huge smile appeared on my face! Having honed my edge, I had been struggling to bring it into focus. A strop like this is just the thing. I like it because it is well made, comfortable, looks nice, and does the job well. It is a great deal for the price and I am sure it will last me forever. I could not be happier with it.

The 1st had a lot of cracks and black peeling off, and the 2nd had a cow hide texture of poor quality. These would have ruined my straight razor's edge but if you are just using these for pocket knives or axes, you should be fine. I wasn't expecting a Kanayama or anything at this price point except for a higher quality than Illinois strops, which neither of the two were. Taking pictures was an easy task, but I was too busy to do it. The straight razors I use and the honed ones I use are all I need. I am not about to ruin all that work with a Initially I thought these were a great deal for a 3" wide strop, but both had serious problems when used with A crack appeared in the finish and a shard of leather dropped into the crack. Despite the black finish, the object had bumps underneath it. I had to use a second piece of low-quality cow hide because it had a lot of texture but also cracking into the leather finish. I guess you can see what happens if you know what you need this for (thick blade knives and axes, but NOT kitchen knives) and try it for yourself.

Ok, so it seems like this is by far the best strop you can find for the price (25 dollars). Other reviewers have noted that there is a bend/crease due to the packaging and silly dye they have used, but it can easily be removed using a baby wipe. The inward crease (just one spot) does subside after a few days and after application of I'm not sure why they bent it inward (into the smooth side of leather) instead of into the rough side, but that's My two cheap strops are much inferior to this one. It puts them to shame in every other way.

The price wasn't what I expected, but it was quite good. I have a strop for the first time. It was a pleasure to find them rolled when I received the package. I had heard they were packaged rolled. Although the leather was smooth on the smooth side, there was a spot that had crinkled under its roll. The forum talk made me panic about sanding and "boning" and I ended up with a defective new strop, so I put it aside and remembered it is With only a few sips of hot water and a decent stretch, it fell right off. This side of the suede is very rough and piling is noticeable, so it is impossible to make a smooth lap. To sand out the piling, I had to sand it. The metal hardware on this piece appears to be a die-cast chrome finish as shown in the photograph. The casting material has not been smoothed even a little bit at the molding surface. After hanging from it for 30 pounds, I stretched the crinkles out and it looked cheap. The software does get the job done, but it takes some time to bring it up to speed.

It is definitely at the top of the list of quality products available in There is no doubt this is not a leather strop for beginners as you might nick the leather and even cut it. using the cheaper leather straps first and keep this one for when you progress to a more expensive one. Furthermore, I applied 2 coats of Leather Conditioner to help make it a little softer as it is a very thick leather. As well as helping to prevent cracking, this also provides some protection. In the event I continue to take excellent care of this Leather Strop, I am certain it will outlast me. As a family, we are looking forward to passing this on to our.

In the leather strop, the surface is smooth, but stiff, and it shows the signs of wear Thus, does not meet the criteria of a There is no continuous contact between the razor edge and the skin as it should be. Unlike vegetable tanned leather and Latino leather that is often used as strops, this leather is not tanned via heat. An irregularity is present in the fabric, such as a This means that, as the razor travels down the strop, it is like driving over I was not able to upload my photos for some reason. Neither worked nor worked as expected.

I was surprised by this quality. I expected it to be a little longer, but it is longer than I expected. In terms of value for money, it's among the three best.
