Hi all,
I have set myself a challenge for the year of only using a straight razor and was wondering (for the future shopping list) what are generally regarded as the best locally made (or assembled) strops in the UK?
I would prefer not to import from the US or Japan as I think it is nice to support local artisans at the moment.. but only if the quality is good enough!
I currently have a custom made one that I had made in South Africa when I lived for a few year which was superb but I took a terrible nick out of the face a few years ago and am currently using a cheap (but very servicable jobby) from the Invisible Edge whilst I get my technique down again that has served well for the last month or so and would be a nice back up.... but I like shiny things .
Cheers!
