Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
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

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
