Vintage Russian Shell Strop for Straight Razor Strop Russia Shell 165A

I ship all my strops flat unlike 99% of sellers out there. I don't put creases in your stropping surface just to save a few bucks.
This is a premium vintage horse hide strop.
highly clear impressions.
that's a rare feature on antique strops.
I prefer vintage strops. Most strops out there today are just junk. Give me a trusty old strop with a few battle wounds any day. This is a quality strop to keep your razor sharp!
I assured the smoothness of the surface by progressive sanding starting at 500grit and up to 3000 then buffed, lotioned with Beard Knife Strop lotion and cleaner.
This will last you the rest of your life and is a beautiful heirloom quality strop.







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
