I saw this strop and one a little more expensive (it may have been thicker?) at the barber supply store today. I have a couple of straights and need to strop them... I can get this one for 20 bucks at the shop but I don't want to waste the cash if there is another beginner's strop available for a reasonably similar price.


Thanks,

It sounds too cheap to be true is my opinion. Check out Ken's Filly strop for $20.

Get a Filly.

+ another for the filly than you can get a really nice strop either from Ken or Tony Miller. And Ken pastes the back of the filly with CrOx.

Do NOT buy a cheap strop. I purchased a Illinois look-alike like that, and not only was it not very good, but outright BAD. It degraded the edge after a careful honing.

Buy a Fillly, or a TM simple starter strop. Well worth the investment!!!!!
