Review on πŸͺ’ Premium G.B.S Barber Strop-Straight Razor Shaving Strop for Professional Barber Shops, Knives & Tools, and Home - Pair with Mug, Brush & Razor, Strop Paste - Extra Wide Leather Barber Strop- 3" x 26 by Nate Forleo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Surprisingly good for the price

Bought as a gift for a person who wants to learn how to wet shave with a straight razor. I was very impressed with the quality for the price. The skin is thick enough to last a long time. The screen side makes a stable impression. This suggests that the leather and canvas aren't as thick as those on my sling, but then again, it's not worth the $90+. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone considering shaving with a straight razor. And the 3" width eliminates the need for X-pattern slinging like with narrower lines. All in all a very good sling for the price and I see no reason why this sling couldn't last for years. As a side note I would on Refrain from using the gel/paste that came with the belt. Take a good chunk of chromium oxide (green material) and use it on the inner canvas after sharpening or for touch ups. Then use the outer canvas and then that Leather.

Pros
  • SHARP & GOOD RAZOR STROP. Wet shaving skill starts with an impressive razor and your newfangled razor sharpener. This leather sharpening belt will help you keep your blade sharp and dependable for years to come. It also works as a sling for a kitchen knife. Solid brass is stitched to perfection for a durable connection, best in school for a small leather strap. With exceptional durability and ease of use, this quality strap will withstand thousands of shaves.
Cons
  • Don't remember
