What's new

My First Strop

So my hunk-O-leather showed up today and im happy i can get back to my shaving now, i was originally going to grab an SRD latigo, but shipping costs and times werent all that appealing to Canada so i checked out Fendrihan for the heck of it and noticed his were about the same price anyway and he is only a days shipping away from me,....

I also noticed some major similarities between his Premier strops and SRD, including the screws having the same designs to them,.. some digging and a few questions later looks like the strops source form the same place so i guess i got an SRD anyway

And Good news, I didnt cut or slice any of it during my first time out... i have a video to prove it,... sorry about the mug being half way in picture

.


with the video i could see things i was doing wrong and have been working on them to improve already

But its a nice little ritual to add to the shave for sure !

Sweet!
You might want to buy some extra TP.

Not sure you want to keep your strop in the bathroom full time. The extra humidity might result in cupping after a while. Easily enough to fix if it happens though.
 
It did make an unexpected noise bringing the edge across it lol helpfull to know you are doing it right cause it goes away if you arent
