Seems to me, if there was one thing AutoStrop President Gaisman liked, it was switching things up. If he could file a patent, so much the better.

I acquired a silver plated VB1 set today. The strop has never been used and is still in its original wrapping paper. Since it’s been in the case for ninety years, I’m giving it a drink of mink oil.
