🔪 G.B.S Straight Razor Leather Strop Sharpening Strap 2.5" X 23.5" Grain Cowhide - Dual Straps with Swivel for Razor, Knife, and Kitchen Cutlery Sharpening - Clip Included, Ensures Razor-Sharp Blades Review

The strap was exactly the width I wanted and the smooth black side is perfect. There is a rough crease at the top of the rougher brown side due to the way it was packaged. You can't use the entire length but I hope the conditioner gets the job done. Neat starting line.

I am new to a straight razor. I bought this sling based on other positive reviews that spoke of its quality and design compared to its modest price point. I am very happy with the design and the performance. But I've found that razor shaving takes a lot of learning, and it's important to watch a few YouTube videos on all aspects of razor shaving to get the hang of it. Stripping is no exception. For example, it is very important that the razor blade is placed squarely across the belt and not at…

As sold it's a good thick piece of cowhide, but as a slingshot straight out of the box it doesn't cut it. It's covered in paint and has too smooth a surface, which doesn't make it as good as a sling. It's TOO smooth. After some work with shaving soap, nothing special just some Williams shaving soap and a nail brush, then let dry and then wipe off with a SMALL amount of Neatsfoot oil and it's now a good quality sling.

When it comes to sharpening a blade, any piece of leather will usually do, but not everyone has an old genuine leather belt. Also, if you use abrasive paste for leather belts (green, red or white). I am offering a high quality GBS leather belt. I decided to do this after looking for Revain for a while. It was inexpensive and had good reviews. Here's what I like about it: - Sturdy - Can be clipped onto any wall mount. - It has two sides. - It will turn your sharpened blade from sharp to razor…

What can I say? This product is designed to sharpen straight razors. That makes them sharp as a spoon. There have been several sharpening sessions and it seemed that this strap was making the razor worse. So the belt is probably in the landfill already, and I'm glad I kept my old belt. For those who think I can't sharpen a razor, yes I regained my sharpness with some old duct tape and some Dialux and got a great shave with no nicks.

I bought this leather carrier despite some negative reviews and while I'm no sling expert I can definitely say it works for me as it should. The price is not that cheap and not expensive at all. I had a few questions that led me to contact customer service and I can say that the customer service is excellent. 5 stars is a combination of customer service response and how much I love this product. I use Neat's foot oil about once a week to ensure the strap has elasticity. I also make sure the…

Noticeable cracks in the skin, not suitable for use with a razor - ruining the blade. Half of the skin is smooth and comfortable, the other half is cracked and uneven. I'm sending it back hoping for a better quality replacement. I'll let you know when the replacement arrives. Update: The replacement came worse than the original! Almost all of the skin is cracked and completely unusable. Both were sent folded in half. Send it back for a refund and don't want to waste time on another replacement.

Arrived on time was what I expected. As far as I could tell, there were no flaws. It seems to be exactly what I ordered and exactly what I needed. Over the years I have lost my original belt which my grandfather gave me. This one is a bit stiffer than the old one, but the old one was 50 years old when I got it and has been well used. It has a pair of leather straps, one rougher than the other. Apply some blush and everything will be razor sharp.
