Used my brand new poor man's strop and balsam strop from Whipped Dog. Balsam came broke, but still able to use it.
Rasoir Sabre horsehide.

Just got a barely used Illinois horse hide and linen to prepare for Tuesday's shave.

Herold oil tanned Russian. Ugly as homemade sin but a fine strop.
My old filthy Russian strop.

Long. Two different leathers. Very nice feel. I like it.
Happy shaves,

This one came for me earlier this week - my first linen and my second TM. I have his travel strop and now I have his rough-out strop. The rough-out is now my workhorse strop - I love it.

Will actually be using this tomorrow. I bought an inexpensive travel strop and was severely disappointed. I decided to do some searching around in the basement and came up with enough components to put this bad boy together. Had a bunch of stuff left over from building dog collars and leashes for the pups. Not perfect but much better for a travel strop. 17" in total and about 12x 2 1/2 worth of stropping surface! The second pic is it over my Parker.
