The Well Shaved Gentleman / Heirloom Razor Strop Company

August 25th Update

I am back from vacation and it will be a busy week. The shelves were pretty much cleaned out before vacation so most of the week will be spent making up new stock before I can open again and take orders. I will be working on my 4 Side Paddle Strops and Wide Paddle Strops, along with more of my popular Apprentice Strops. Things should be ready again by late week but I do need to have a good supply on hand again before releasing anything. As I just did a large run of Artisans it will be at least 2 weeks till I make more.

The Barber's Boxes are finished and I will make up labels this week and then release them by weeks end. Thanks.

All of my strops are designed, cut and finished by hand individually by me. Canvas and Linen components are all cut, punched and finished by me as well. The wooden blanks for my paddles and the leather handles are the only pieces, other than metal hardware, not made by me, but are instead produced by my Amish craftsman friends to my designs, and assembled here by me. This hands on approach is how I insure the quality of my products. I work at whatever pace produces the best product, not the greatest availability. In order to do this I must limit which products are produced each week and not every item will be available at one time. Each week I will make and offer a few different models for sale and then rotate my offerings each week or two to accomodate your needs. At times I will be closed completely in order to make up more stock. With this approach it may take a little longer to get what you need but I think you will find it worth the wait.

INTERNATIONAL and USA Shipping Information !

For USA ORDERS I accept Paypal directly through my website link or credit cards via phone after completing the online ordering process. Shipping is by Priority Mail and usually runs $6.50 to $10.00. I typically ship only two or three days a week.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS, my checkout system does not accept non-USA addresses so please e-mail me with your wants and include your PAYPAL e-mail address so I can send an invoice with your total costs. I ship only via Priority Mail International Insured. Typical shipping costs for a single strop to the UK, Europe or Australia runs $27.00 (Canada $19.00), several larger strops together run $32.00 (Canada $22.00). Customs duties and taxes may also apply in your country. My schedule only allows me to ship International orders approximately once every two weeks.

Products on The Workshop Bench Now !

The following products are in production now and should be ready within a week. Artisans in both Latigo and Horsehide will be at least 2 weeks off as I just did a fairly large run before vacation. Genuine Linen is still backordered from the mill and I am told at least a 6 week wait.

Please note that I cannot accept advanced orders for strops. Some raw materials are not always available so I cannot always predict what products will be in production at any given time. I am picky about what I sell and refuse to offer items until they are assembled, on the shelf and I am happy with them.
