What's new

Cordovan on the way...

I've been tempted by cordovan for about the last 12 months. There was always something supple and mystic about it. After some research I found out that the process was first developed in Spain and is considered to be "Spanish Leather." A fact I found very interesting with all the colognes on the market.

So my strop....I talked to JimR from SPR via email and settled on the Kanayama 50K. If you aren't sure of this company Ill give you a bit of background. This is a Japanese Razor Strop company that is the only still in operation and has been so for almost 60 years. These are not cheap strops or really for the casual straight razor user. But, then again, do average straight users join shaving forums?:lol:
 
Kanayama 50K :w00t:

I just ordered the one from rasurpur, I think its the 30,000 but it appears to be marked just with 3. Anyone know if this is the 30,000 model? The leather is 3mm according to the rasurpur site. Not sure why it would be marked differently.
Thought I might as well buy a new TI while I was at it.
Man I'm broke now...

No, according to the manufacture it is a 10000. The #3 is a special order for Raspur that is really a ten thousand.
