What's Available For January
Artisan™, Old Timer™, Vegan™ and Traditional Old No. 2™ Strops
This month I am offering both my original Artisan™ Steerhide Strops with either Handles or Dee Rings, my latest Old Timer™ Steerhide Strops with the New Handles and my Original Old No. 2™ Plain End Strops in 2 1/2" models. I also have my 3" Synthetic Vegan™ and some cloth only Cotton and Linen strops to match my Artisan™ line and....the optional Practice Strops Are Back !
New Premium Steerhide
The new Premium Butt Section Steerhide has become my new standard for my strops. This is a specially finished leather selected from the butt area for extra strength and minimal stretch. I hand select every one of these hides in person so I know I will get the surface quality and suppleness I demand for my strops. These superior hides have a special surface finish giving them a buttery smooth, light to medium draw. These have been hand worked to have a nice supple feel. They are used on all of my strop models right now. Pairing the steerhide with my Genuine Natural Linen will give a superior quality strop that I and many others feel outperforms most strops on the market today.
International Orders
Please note that the USA has had drastic postage increases effective Jan. 22nd. International shipping rates have increased by nearly $10.
International customers, please use e-mail to place your orders. Due to recent USA Postal Service increases typical Priority Mail shipping for strops to Canada is now $25.00 and to the rest of the world is $39.00. Please be aware that customs charges and duties will also likely apply upon arrival and that I must declare and honest and accurate value as merchandise on the shipping documents.

~ The Heirloom Razor Strop Co. ~
Designer And Maker Of The Original Latigo Strops !
Hand Crafted Strops and Leather Goods Directly From The Craftsman
Thanks for looking at my products. This is a small, Christian owned and run business and my products are all made here by hand, by me. I'm not a big business with a storefront or staff, and I don't stock and resell some other makers products or have others simply manufacture to my design. I am the craftsman, the manufacturer and the designer.
All of my products are designed, cut and finished completely within my own shop. My familiar strop, handle and cap designs, and the use of of Latigo leather and modular construction are now common with other makers. All of these innovations started here at The Heirloom Razor Strop Company and were based on my years of experience in leatherworking. My designs and materials have evolved the past 6 1/2 years through hands on testing of many prototypes and much positive customer feedback. When you buy an Heirloom Strop you buy from the designer and the maker.
My Artisan™, Heirloom™, Old No.2™, Notovan™, and Old Timer™ strops are of my own design and trademarked names. Please note that similar looking designs and "Heirloom" and "Artisan" named strops and sets found elsewhere are simply copies neither made by, nor endorsed by me.
The components for my products are made here in small runs each week and then assembled to order one at a time when you place your order. I don't make up dozens of strops and simply fill orders, I build to your requests from my proven designs and materials. My designs and leather options will vary from time to time but will always be from materials that have proven themselves over the years. My Steerhide and various Horsehides are hand selected and hand worked to provide just the right feel. Every piece is cut one at a time to insure the best surface quality. My Horsehide and Steerhide strops are cut only from premium #1 grade hides. Typically only 50% to 60% of the hide is deemed usable for what I will put my Heirloom™ name on. The rest becomes trim pieces or is thrown away as waste. If I would not own and use it myself, I will not sell it.
