Single Horse Hide Leather Stropping Panel for Magnetic Paddle Strop
This is a single (ie one) stropping panel made from horse hide that has undergone a natural vegetable tannage. The leather is quite firm but, like the traditional russian-tanned horse hide it responds well to breaking in (usually by lathering/saddle-soaping, pumicing if necessary and/or oiling) - indeed, the draw is so slight that some or all of these steps may be necessary. Horse hide like this is a fine finishing strop - it requires more laps than usual and is not really suitable for beginners or those who have not experienced it before - if it does not perform as you like you must be willing to put some work into it! The panel measures 300mm x 70mm. It has a special thin flexible non-magnetised ferrous backing that allows it to be fitted easily, quickly and securely to the magnetic paddle strop frames. On average, each panel is about 3mm thick - some are thinner, some are thicker.
Note that some of the photos show a number of panels - this is only to show slight differences between panels - the price is for one single panel only - to use both sides of the magnetic paddle, you will require two stropping panels.
Each panel has had the edges chamfered and has a light pinstripe.
Note that these are natural products, hand-cut, bevelled and striped, and may show some light surface marks and other irregularities - none of which will affect the panels ability to produce a fine edge on a razor. Each one has been hand selected by me and closely inspected.
Packaged weight will be around 325gms. |
