Rasoir Sabre France Horsehide Strop with Denim Linen Rear, 3.4x18.6 Inches Stropping Area, Vegetable Tanned

描述

An exceptional quality handmade strop, this Rasoir Sabre France horsehide piece is as wide as any straight razor edge on both sides and uses blue denim cotton, woven with a linen texture, for its preparation surface. Horsebutt is an extremely hard-to-source hide, and these kinds of strops are often hard to come by for retail sale. Both sides have an exposed stropping plane between the endcaps of approximately 18.6-inches. The strop surface will not require any pre-treatment before use, and can be easily maintained with gentle daily hand rubbing before use and an occasional supplement of condensed leather fat (or a leather treatment such as Ballistol oil); its tanning process is more akin to the deceased 'Wild Juchten' burgundy red (from birch oil used in the tanning process), meaning it is far higher friction than a horse shell for example but works tremendously well. Weighs a whopping 10.8 ounces. Produced in France, using horsehide leather vegetable tanned in Italy.
