🐄 Top Grain Cowhide Fromm Razor Strop Blade Sharpener, Brown, 2.5 x 23 Inch, IRS127 Review

After reading one negative review I was a bit nervous but had no reason to be. The lanyard came in a 4 x 4 x 32 inch box and arrived perfectly flat. Material and construction are excellent. This sling has four sling surfaces, two sides of durable canvas webbing (with its own leather handle) and two sides. made of thick, perfectly flat skin. The two parts are held together by a pivoting brass clamp secured with a knurled nut and small carriage bolt. the most beautiful sling I have ever seen…

A sling came with a corrugated surface and a convex fold, similar to a scar on a cowhide. The edges of the leather are untrimmed and the back of the leather is a total mess. The leather dye gets all over the canvas and onto your hands when trying to line up the sling. Running a razor over it I can feel all the bumps, pits and bumps. It's such a bad finish that I bet anyone could do better with a leather strip from Tandy. It's really that bad. Maybe the cow they made my sling out of got hit by a

I used a few "cheap" starter cords for several years before deciding to upgrade. Utility plays a big role in my book. I took Fromm 9 months ago and love the results.

But then again, if I was looking for a quick and easy shave, I'd probably use double-edged razors rather than straight razors. :DA - quality shave. Well, and there's a…

I bought a cheap strop first when it arrived. I wasn't thrilled, sent it back. I remembered seeing this one, I was like, ok, try it. Came in a flat box which is good. I took it out even better, you can take it apart, put polish on one side, flip it, put a different grit on the other. Now I am satisfied that after a few minutes I can see that the blade of my knife is moving in the desired direction. The only problem I've found is that the hook sucks at the end, it's already trying to straighten…

The lanyard has everything you need for a very good product. It came well in a big long box so the strap could be flat. However, there was a significant ripple on the strap that extended 4 to 5 inches from the end of the handle. I'm not sure if this could have happened on delivery or otherwise. I haven't been able to fully figure this out while trying the various "tricks" posted on many classic shaving forums. I showed it to a skin specialist who noticed that the skin in that area seemed…

I am very happy with the Fromm belt I recently purchased. I can understand some customers being unhappy with the condition of the lines upon unpacking. He is not ready to apply the law. Taking the advice of another reviewer comment, I used 600 grit sandpaper to lighten the color and texture of the leather, rinse with water and dry, then sanded again with 800 grit sandpaper to give it extra smoothness. Grind gently so as not to remove too much skin. I use Fromm 364 Strop once a day - for the…
