The Well Shaved Gentleman / Heirloom Razor Strop Company

2 1/2" SPECIAL FINISH ARTISAN™ STEERHIDE ~ MEDIUM ? LIGHT DRAW

Available Again In Early March

My newest 8 to 9oz. Artisan Old No. 2™ Specially Finished Premium Steerhide is available with heavy dark brown Bridle leather trim and Handles.

The front component is a heavy 8 to 9oz. premium Steerhide that has been specially finished to a superfine surface give a nice medium draw. It is buttery smooth with a velvet-like draw and needs no breaking in. It is hand worked to give just the right suppleness and to help it resist cupping.

This 2 1/2" traditional model is joined at the top to a second component of either my Fine Weave Firm Cotton (Standard), or Genuine Linen (+$12.00). For those on a budget, or not feeling the need for a cloth component, I also offer this model as a single component, Steerhide only strop with just one handle (-$20.00). A cotton or genuine linen component can be added later if desired.

The standard second component is a fine, but firm weave cotton that works well alone or pasted with diamond spray or chromium oxide. An optional upgrade is my Genuine Linen which has a naturally abrasive surface and is the traditional material used for cloth strops. The Genuine Linen is best used unpasted.

These feature Contoured Heavy Leather Handles with a 29" overall length and a traditional, 2 1/2" wide x 17 1/2" long stropping surface.

These Artisan™ style handles are of my original design and provide a more free floating grip than my Old Timer™ handles. The strop is free to adjust a bit easier if you have a less direct or rigid stropping motion.

You can add my Steerhide Starter Strop (+$12.00) to give you a first quality strop to learn on and with premium leather and construction.

These are made to order so please allow 5 to 7 days for me to complete your order.
