2.5" Wide Black Buffalo Leather Hanging Strop

2.5" Wide Black Buffalo Leather Single Hanging Razor Strop

This is a good quality, basic no-nonsense reliable strop, hand-made in England from very excellent quality thick black buffalo leather.  

This leather, although around 4.5mm thick, is not stiff.  It has a medium draw that slightly increses as it is used more and more.  The leather has a good suppleness and does not require any dressing.

Like all natural products leather has small marks and unique traces, none of which will impair the ability to finely hone a razor - it has been specially hand-selected for this job! 

The chromed steelswivel gear is very rugged and is equipped with a snap-hook.  Like the soft black latigo leather handle, it is attached to the strop with screw-rivets, making it fully modular, so that the stropping panel may be replaced if damaged.

This strop is a decent length - the overall length from end-to-end (including hardware) is approx 26.5 inches and the width is a good 2.5 inches wide.  The free stropping length is 15.75 inches.  The makers mark is embossed into the leather (on the stropping side) at the bottom of the strop.

Please note that this is an English handmade product, made by one individual - not a factory item made by machine, so you should expect signs of handwork such as slightly irregular stitching, etc.  Leather is a natural substance which also shows some marks and slight imperfections, none of which will interefere with the ability of this strop to produce a super-fine edge on a razor.  I always make a test prototype of every strop I sell, selecting the leather that has representations of all marks and imperfections for the test prototype, and I use it punishingly so I am very familiar with the materials I use and can personally recommend them.  The items I sell are made from leather that has far less pronounced markings, etc, than the test prototypes - anything not meeting my exacting standards is rejected!

Packaged weight will be around 550gms
