Here is a great product you can use to maintain your razor while away from home. Each of the three surface have a magnetic backing that makes them interchangeable with the supplied holder. The leather surface is premium horse hide provided by Handamerican, and will provide and excellent stropping surface for your razors edge no matter where you are. This will be a great addition to your maintenance tools.
Soon there will be an addition to this kit, a very nice wooden box with a lid that will hold not only the Travel Strop, but also your razor as well. Turn the box over, and the bottom acts as the holder for the individual strops. The box will come with an Emerald Green felt bottom, brass hinges, magnetic catch, contrasting inlay on the lid, hand rubbed oil finish and felt feet. These will be by special order only and can be customized to your special needs if you wish. We also have a very nice custom made carry pouch available, with a separate section for your pasted balsa, should you desire something less attractive.
Please ask about these if you are interested.
We also have available for this Travel Strop, specially cut 1"x6" Chosera 10K stones mounted on an aluminum base with a magnetic holder attached. This is the best synthetic finishing stone available, at a reasonable cost, and will provide you with the ultimate travel kit. No need to worry while you are on the road any longer.
Straight razor maintenance is also easier with the use of our Hard Balsa Strop loaded with Chromium Oxide from Handamerican. Our hard strop, used in conjunction with your daily leather stropping, can extend the life of your straight razors honed edge, thus allowing you to go longer between honing. The razors edges will last much longer than the modern day multi-blade disposable. And now, with our new Travel Strop, there is no reason to not have that smooth shave available while on the road!
I can also put the finishing touches on your razor by creating a set of custom scales to suite your taste. I use exotic woods, Micarta, G-10 fiberglass, horn and other materials. So, if you need a new set of scales, contact me.
We cater to the International community of wet shaving enthusiasts in maintaining and honing of their straight razors as well. We have worked on Dovo, Thiers-Issard, Solingen, Wade & Butcher, Puma, dubl duck, Sheffield to name a few.
I started shaving with a straight razor back in 1967, and did so off and on until 1974. I picked it back up in late 2008 and never looked back. My goal is to help as many straight razor users as possible achieve a smooth shave and enjoy this hobby. Some of you might remember me from SRP as Rayman, and some of you might not. I participated there for quite some time and was banned from the site in December '09 after showing a pair of scales I did for someone who just happen to be selling them at the same time. Since then I have been active on Coticule.be as Rayman and also post on B&B as Ray-man. Although I cannot participate on the SRP site, I would encourage you to visit there also. There are many knowlegeable and friendly people there as well.
Thanks for looking!
