Description:
The strop itself is a work of art. Torolf is a true Master of the Leatherworking craft. Fit and finish were excellent. Just to look at it is a pleasure.



All materials used are top grade from the leather to linen to the hardware and handle. I was asked which color handle I wanted and informed Torolf he could be creative. I was amazed with his choice.



The Linen Component is second to none in my opinion. It is fast with a brisk feeling of abrasiveness, and the logo at the top end gives it a nice asthetical touch.



The handel is comfortable in the hand and does not feel gaudy or cumbersome.



The Leather component is of the highest grade. Torolf modifies and tweaks the draw to optimum performance. The is draw to spare on this strop, but it is butter smooth, and you can actually hear the abrasiveness of it. Feed back is excellent, and the more you use it the better it gets.



Delivery time is long, about a month, but bear in mind that your strop is hand crafted after your order is placed. To my knowledge He has no stock.



At $160 USD I find it an excellent value based on the final product. I would have gladly paid much more.



To this day it is the bet money I have invested in Wet Shaving!

Just because it's sharp, does not mean it's smooth.

This strop has a very nice heavy draw, which is a good thing in my opinion, i can feel the edge sticking to the leather. I think i like the draw on this strop more than my Kanayama.

The leather is very supple and soft.



Overall it's a very nice strop.
