Razor Strop in buffalo hide with backside of hefty cotton. The cotton side should be used before the leather side to provide a real fine grinding. This side offers no sharpness to an already dull knife but lengthening the time between each stropping. You must therefore end every stropping with the leather side to create a finer edge adjustment and a smooth surface.
The strop has a metal hook at one end and a padded leather handle at the other end, for extra comfortable grip.
FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
Width: 50 mm
Strop length: 335 mm (the usable part)
Total length: 580 mm (from hook to hook)
Thickness, leather side: 4 mm
Thickness, cotton side: 20mm
The fur side, which is the shiny side should be turned upwards. The strop should be held taut and the knife must lie with the blade flat against the strop. You then pull the knife with his back prior to and fro.The first time you use the strop and then when it feels dry, use Benjamin Barber Leather Balm. The paste need not be applied in every stropping, only when necessary.
You shoulde use your strop before each shave for about 1-2 minutes, depending on how sharp or dull knife is.
The handle feels like a foam rubber thing; I expected more of a leather feel here. It's sneaky to cut costs and make the handle out of imitation when the actual item is in leather, one might think.
Handtaget känns som en skumgummi grej hade förväntat mig mer en läder känsla här. Sneaket att spara in och göra handtaget av imitation när själva grejen är i läder kan man tycka.
Works well. It might seem a bit too narrow if you don't want to move the knife sideways. But then again, maybe you shouldn’t be using a knife.
Funkar bra. Kan tyckas vara lite för smal om man inte orkar dra kniven i sidled. Fast då kanske man inte ska köra med kniv.
Just as expected, smooth fine leather that adds that extra sharpness.
Precis enligt förväntningarna slätt fint läder som fixar till den där extra skärpan.
No comparison available, but it works as planned. Could have been a bit wider.
Ingen å sammenligne med, men fungerer etter planen. Kunne vært litt bredere.
Bra läder som fungerar bra efter en omgång strigelfett.
Could have imagined it ten cm longer, works well
Kunne tenkt den ti cm lengre, fungerer godt
Seems to be a good strop, at a good price.
Verkar vara en bra strigel, till bra pris.
I am a beginner, but it definitely seems to do the job.
Jag är nybörjare men den verkar definitivt göra jobbet.
Good materials, easy and stable to grip. Build quality not so good, stitching on critical areas not straight.
Completely useless strop! Completely bent and has no even contact with the knife.
Helt värdelös strigel! Helt böjd och har ingen jämn kontakt med kniven
