I love, love, love this leather strop. I like many others prefer to work with very sharp knives and this provides me with that. I am a Japanese knife snob, I have tried others but prefer their metal and edge to European or domestic knifes. This leather strop keeps the edge of my knifes scary sharp, it is also very easy to use as it is wide and long. I have tried other leather strops and they just didn't live up to the billing. I can tell this strop should last a nice long time, great quality, great product. Read more

I purchased the Parker's red latigo strop. It shipped sealed in plastic and in a long box, so there was no damage from moisture, or from bending. I love the leather portion of the strop. It is wider than a straight razor, so stropping can be done with the full blade in contact with the leather. The strop is also long enough to use a full stroke each pass. The leather has a medium draw as received. The leather is a natural product, so do not expect the leather to be perfect. The back side of the leather is rougher than the face. That side can be used as well when refreshing the edge of a razor.The attention to detail is quite good. The hardware is high quality. The leather handles are a nice touch. I have not yet finalized my opinion on the poly web fabric portion of the strop. That is why I rated the strop a 4 rather than a 5. The weave is quite coarse, so stropping on the fabric is noisy. I plan to coat the back side of the fabric with green CromeOx for polishing. It should work well for that purpose. Because I also wanted to have a smoother fabric strop I purchased a plain weave 100% cotton placemat from a local store. I folded the placemat in thirds on the short dimension using a Z-fold and ironed the creases flat. I will load one side of that cotton strop with green ChromeOx and will use one side untreated. With this addition, all my razor stropping needs should be covered. Read more

Amazing Strop. Very high quality leather! Smells wonderful. It is supple, yet firm. Perfect balance. I wish it had a linen backing but the backing side material is fine. Performs like a pro, however not recommended for the beginner. It is 2x the price of a cheap strop, but definitely has 2x the performance. Money well spent on my part. Read more

I am new to straight razor shaving. I have been shaving my husband this way for about 5-6 months. I started with a beginner kit that came with a very cheap strop that is hard to get a good edge on. I recieved this one about a week ago and I love it! The leather is very high quality and the entire strop is very well made. I used it for the first time tonight and it gives me a very nice edge with half of the time it would take for the other strop. Overall a very good product and I would recommend it to anyone I know that is wanting to get serious about straight razor shaving. Read more

The spring loaded clip is nearly impossible to operate, literally painful to get the thing to open. The warming strop is nylon. Freaking nylon. Eighty dollars and they didn't use linen. The leather is good quality. At least that part is up to the price point. Not at all happy about the cut corners. But there are so few options for these. Read more

I use a Dovo razor, and this is wide enough to strop the razor without having to do an "x" pattern. Made in USA and very well constructed! This replaces three other strops I have had. Kurt Read more
