[paco664]

i am seeking government funding to study the effects of SRAD/HAD/SAD... etc........

it will be a billion dollar study..... possibly trillion..

Seraphim has overclocked my amygdala, but I do love the strop, especially the suede component.

I can contribute data for your study. Possibly decrease the amount you will need by about 1/2. You would also get points for using a disadvantaged person in your study... I only have one face but many razors.

How is this not Doc's custom title yet......Strop pusher.

Probably not embarrassing enough ;)

I just received my Lama strop today, o this man is wonderful. I had my best straight razor shave after stropping on this.
Is totally different from other strops.
One little question: on the surface of the strop have appeared some very fine scratches. Is this normal?
Cheers !

[Kentos]

Mine has them too. Very fine sanding marks going up and down right? I think it's fine.

[Obiwan]

same here.

[Wid]

I also have a Llama brand strop and it to has the marks. It is a wonderful strop none the less, unlike anything I've used before.

[Seraphim]

My Kintaka had them also.

[Doc226]

Mine has them as well.

[GreekGuy]

Strange, mine doesn't have that. It looks perfect...


















Nah I'm just screwing with you guys, mine has them too

[BCN]

Ok guys it's clear now. I tought that maybe i did something wrong :)
Thanks for making me buy such a great strop !

[Kentos]

I am almost certain those marks are from Kanoyama himself. Likely the finish sanding maybe? Someone in Japan needs to document his methods and techniques while they still can.

[Obiwan]

Fieldtrip!

I even made myself buy one!

[Kentos]

It bears mentioning that aframestokyo has them back in stock...

I think the Wafu Souhonke show is going to do just that.

How do you guys hang your strops with the clips when you're using it? Hook in the wall? Loop it into a thick ring like on the TM strops?

[Kentos]

Yup.

I bought a ring from the local hardware store and clipped to the Kanayama. So it now hangs like a TM on the hook.

I have my 3 strops all hanging on the same ring. Just pick the one I want to use.
