Ive seen old strops that were similar, not sure if they were that short though.
Just wait..199 more laps to go!...
Looks nice workmanship though

it's $20 for the razor and strop together.....I have my doubts
It says "B&B" on it, it HAS to be high quality.

I tried honing one of those Barber and Beauty razors and never got an edge up to my standards on it. It would shave, but just. More of a neck trimming razor than a face razor if you ask me.
The midget strop actually has possibilities as a travel strop, though. I could see using it for a few days on a road trip or something.

Maybe it's a barber's strop for cutting hair, not shaving. In France, a local barber cuts my longish hair with a straight razor. 1 or 2 laps on a small Soligen loom strop laden with black paste and he's ready to start cutting.
I have a keychain strop.
I've seen a few like the one on the left before.

Gamma, interesting....maybe I've just not looked around enough. I seem to gravitate towards the larger ones when I'm looking
I'd say even the shorter of the two in that video looks twice as long as this thing
So many innuendos just waiting to be used as custom titles!

Hey that strop is a great item to promote on April first.
I had a 300x40mm vintage hanging strop from austria WWI era. The leather was stupidly thick. Like 7-9mm.... and nice, but the hardware was horribly designed and the linen was thick, coarse and crappy and sewed to the leather, so the leather cupped and got chewed up by stropping even if you didn't make any mistakes. Had never seen a smaller hanging strop than that before.
I've got a smaller strop - part of an old straight razor travel kit owned by my great grandfather, it's maybe a little longer than that but is about 1.5 inches wide and 30cm long. Just a simple, smooth piece of leather (I've no idea what animal it came from, it's very light in colour) and a ring at either end
Its machine sewn. But it look good in the mirror in the car, hehe..
Very sweet..
