2 1/2" Heirloom Steerhide "Old No. 2" Traditional Strop
2 1/2" SPECIAL FINISH OLD NO. 2™ STEERHIDE ~ MEDIUM / LIGHT DRAW
Available Again Feb. 13th
Premium Steerhide at a non-premium price
My newest Specially Finished Steerhide is used on this latest version of my "Old No. 2"™ strop. This is a 2 1/2" x 24" "barbershop" style strop with a straight cut, plain bottom. A simple, straightforward design that was "Good Enough For Grandpa!"™
The front component is a heavy 8 to 9oz. premium Steerhide that has been specially finished with a superfine surface to give a medium draw. It feels buttery smooth with a velvet-like draw and needs no breaking in. It is hand worked to give just the right suppleness and to help it resist cupping. It should not be used with any dressings.
This traditional model is joined at the top to a second component of my either my Fine Weave Firm Cotton (Standard), or optional Genuine Linen (+$13.00). For those on a budget, or not feeling the need for a cloth component, I also offer this model as a single component, Steerhide only strop (-$10.00). A cotton or genuine linen component can be added later if desired.
The cotton second component is a fine, but firm weave that works well alone or pasted with diamond spray or chromium oxide. My newest Genuine Linen has a naturally abrasive surface and an even finer, smoother weave than what I have used previously. The genuine Linen is best used unpasted.
You can add my Steerhide Starter Strop (+$12.00) to give you a first quality strop to learn on and with premium leather and construction.
These are made to order so please allow 5 to 7 days for me to complete your order.
