This is the "Lil Shaver" Cobra X-CEL Horsehide Strop is Chromium tanned with an added X-CEL process. It is soft and flexible, with medium drag, slightly more than our plain Cobra Lil' Shaver. Extremely high quality at an affordable price. These strops are of the finest quality. The strop is a full 3" (76mm) wide x 27" (686mm) long with a full 17" (432mm) of stropping surface. This width allows you to use straight strokes with no need for the X pattern stroke. This is a definite plus in your daily maintenance routine. All of the hardware is cast by us in our foundry, then nickel plated and buffed to a lustrous shine. The top hanger is a triangle, which allows for ease of attachment to any hook, and minimizes the pendulum effect of swinging. This strop is very suitable for travel, the hardware on both ends can fold down allowing the strop to fit into carry-on luggage. Compare feature for feature ~ Size ~ Materials ~ Hardware ~ Craftsmanship ~ Price ****************This is a natural material, it is the skin of a horse, and occasionally will have some marks. These are often scars from rubbing up against a barbwire fence, or may be wrinkles from age just like our skin. When it is in un-dyed natural Russet color these mark are visible, in the darker tanned colors they are not. They do not affect the performance of the strop in any way and are your guarantee that it is real horse hide! Every part of this strops is made by hand in the USA. The Imperial Shave: "The highest quality strops... PERIOD."
P**R
If you want something that is very high quality, if you have to ask how much. then you can't afford it....
After getting my first straight razor, that I paid $300 for, I found out the hard way about putting high end leather on such a blade. Spending over $125 for a piece of leather might sound crazy, but it is what it is. What ever you pay for, that is about how much is worth. So don't be cheap! This is a top tier piece of leather....now I know how to treat my razor!
