I think it is the coolest razor ever made.
I don't worry about the stropping. If you need it, make one out of some leather.

I have thought about that. However, it is a very, very thin leather-about 1mm thick and I have yet to see anything I could cannibalize. I even thought about contracting one of the well known shave vendor sites that makes their own strops to do it for me but I never got around to it. Maybe this year! (It's not like I have a lot to do).

They're on the Bay all the time

Made an offer. It looks like it is in rough shape. Don''t know if it is salvageable.

It was just one example, there were others. I know some are crazy price but there are cheaper ones as well. Hope it works out for you
