Good article, thanks for the link.

Never heard of veggie strops before reading this, I would have assumed leather strops are the one irreplaceable piece of animal shaving gear.

Yeah TM has offered his for awhile.


I wanna say there was a thread or article where someone reviewed it and explained what exactly it was, but maybe I dreamed it?

An entertaining read thanks for the link. The internet is so HUGE...I'd love to find a resource that linked interesting little articles/blog posts like this one together in one fell swoop so I could read all these nice human interest stories. I have stumbled across other stories along these lines over the years that had little or no audience...sort of a shame. Anybody want to suggest a source?

thanks for that, it was a fun read

Hoosier, not a perfect solution....but start a thread here, ask for replies only if they contain links to a new article

Interesting article. Hopefully it brings a few more straight converts. I love the look of the Hart razor he found, but he failed to mention anything about a hone. Yes, hes vegan strop will keep it good for awhile, but he will need to do something about sharpening it at some point....

he says "In 5 months, I haven't had to spend another cent after my initial set up".

The only reason why I tumbled upon this article, is because I have pulse set up on my kindle.I get a very good variety of news feeds.
