Vintage Sears Barber Strop Leather Straight Razor Sharpener # 9604 Leather and Linen Great condition

Why buy a beard knife approved strop? Because I ship all strops FLAT. 99% of sellers like to cut corners and save on shipping. Not me...I want you to have a usable strop without bends in the leather and permanent creases. The purpose of stropping is to have a SMOOTH surface to run your blade across. It doesn't matter how good of a strop you buy if it's not shipped properly. You'd think anyone familiar with the product would know better but...I've never had a strop shipped to me flat. It makes a huge difference!


There's nothing like a vintage strop. Quality Leather...made in America.
This bad boy has a leather and cloth strop. Condition of leather is excellent. Letter impressions are clear and gold printed. Quality steel attachment can be easily removed.
Great Strop. Don't waste your money on a cheap Ebay or Amazon strop...they won't get the job done.

24" length Craftsman Vintage leather strop. This one looks like it's in rough condition but it's not. The surface area is almost entirely smooth like a brand new strop. The only real concern is down by the handle...left side there is a surface cut that does actually disrupt the 100% smooth surface area. The good news is most people don't strop that close to the handle anyways. So it's not really a factor. If it bothers you you can probably patch it up with some super glue and sand paper but I don't think it's worth messing with. Great strop overall. I'd give it an A-.

Solid construction, Great leather, smooth surface, Linen and leather strop. Solid stitching. The linen looks like it's been pasted in the past so that's why it has color on it. It's not "dirty." It was intentional. :)

Great strop for maintaining your razor between shaves.




Strop used for final touching after honing straight razors


I highly RECOMMEND for any items that have STEEL components that you pick up a 5 dollar bottle of Beard Knife Razor lube. It lasts forever and costs next to nothing to protect your investment. I see guys dropping $200 dollars on a razor and then wondering why it develops rust when they leave it wet and don't take care of it. Stainless steel doesn't mean rust proof steel. Remember your blade can last HUNDREDS of years or a month. That's entirely up to you. Always...ALWAYS dry your razor after use. Get a stand so it can drip dry if nothing else and apply a little of this oil to your steel after use and you will not have to worry about rust. https://www.beardknife.com/listing/649137610/beardknife-straight-razor-steel-lube
