Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Used for the second reason for owning one. Utility goes a long way in my book. Arrived packed very securely in a box.

Leather is thick and strong. Linen side is hard but finely woven. The canvas is real canvas, thin mil canvas and works very well.

Double sided strip works well for my straight razor. Both strops seem to work as they should and my razors are definitely sharper than cheap chinese strops. A quality shave is the goal.



Cons

Leather dye gets all over the linen side, and your hands, if you try to condition the strop.

Quality


I am very satisfied with this product


Construction quality were fine and sufficiently wellmade to likely still be perfectly functional in a few decades


D a quality shave is the goal


The cupping could have happened due to how it was stored since it is an amazon fulfilled product

Price


It may not be top of the line but it works and is a good price


Not the finest i’ve seen but good food the price

Shipping


The shipping was fast and this strop is exactly what i wanted


They made sure to pack this with a lot of packing material and in a big box to prevent damage from packing and shipping


Mine was fulfilled by amazon with twoday prime shipping so i’d expect the same as long as it was getting shipped by them

Packaging/appearance


Fist one came with a crack in it from packaging quick replacement great strop good value


Although i pay more for shipping than the product itself i’m satisfied with my purchase packaging and delivery


I read a lot of reviews of other products and the 1 complaint i kept seeing was that the strops they received were damaged from...  Read More

Competitiveness


I have a dovo extra wide russian leather strop and this one actually leaves me with a better edge than it does so take that as you will


Received perfectly packed and the strop itself felt nice and easy to use i’m a begginer


I used a couple of cheap starter strops for several years until i decided to upgrade at all


Its tolerated the abuse of a newbie shaver learning on it thus far

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not surprisingly it stopped putting a decent edge on my straight razor pretty quickly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also had been lightly folded at some point creasing it about 13 up from the bottom


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Again this strop has a slick draw that may or may not be remedied because of the thick slick leather so it may not be for everyone


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you prefer a draw and still wanna try it avoid any conditioners for a while as they will only make it slick again


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The brand logo and text unnecessary reducing usable length very stiff and surface got little distorted during transit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Came in a package large enough that it just had a gentle 90 degree bend that came out of the leather with a little light working of the leather


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I mention that because it’s been in several of the reviews as an issue


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It has some natural scratches on it those dont seem to alter the sharpening process
