The Strop-It strop with the removable beds from the Invisible Edge are excellent. Especially the English Bridle and napped leather (it's properly napped not suede). They are heavy though. Make sure you get the razor version with the sprung beds.I'm looking for a new paddle strop for my straight razors.
I currently have one with leatherand canvas but would like one that's leather and leather. Got up to about £80 to spend... enough for one of the Invisible Edge ones with the removable beds, but I'm wonderingif I could get something or a similar quality for less.
Thanks in advance
Thank you for your reply. I'm almost sold on the Invisible Edge ones I think. Nice to know others would recommend them.
My first strop was from Peter of Peter's Eaters. It is ok, but the leather has started to come away at the corners and it wasn't 100% flat when I got it, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm no expert. It was good for a cheap starter, but I'm willing to pay more this time.
I was looking at rasurpur.de recently but they also seem to have no strops now
Paddle or hanging?I really like the French Strop-it-strop but as I am cheap DIY is a tempting option, not going for such an elaborate design, keeping it simple guessing cutting leather neat and straight might be the biggest problem.
Who really knows. I mean I stropped for years on stiff paddle strops. But supposedly it does. Personally I think a rubber layer under the leather is more effective.Noticed that the Strop-it-strop also comes in a simpler and cheaper knife version, how important is a sprung design for straight razors?
