WTB Straight Razor and Strop

[erik1963]

I am after a straight razor in shave ready condition. I have attached images of 4 razors I have seen (but can't afford), to give an idea of the style I am after, if anyone has something similar in looks.

Also, I am looking for a used hand held (? paddle) strop (i.e. as opposed to a hanging strop).

I will also pm Tazz, but if anyone has something suitable for sale at a reasonable price, please contact me.

Maybe I ask too much?

Regards,
Erik.

Razors you cant afford? The way you have been snapping them up on here I was beginning to think you might be the lottery winner! :icon_razz:

In my dreams!!

Anyway, its you guys who own all the antiquities - I'm just the poor guy who struggles to purchase your cast-offs! :icon_razz::icon_razz:

Neil's your man for the strop, I'd say, and he does razors too ... Nonetheless, I do have something which might suit: PM me if interested.

Just wanted to show off a brilliant new straight that I purchased from Jamie (Pugh the Special One). He has done a marvellous job on restoring this razor from start to finish, with the addition of new scales, which suit the blade really well.

Here's a picture, but as ever, its hard to do it justice in a photograph, especially with my lack of skills!

Thanks to Jamie.
