Dave, I am constantly amazed at the variety of razors that you have!
Just when I thought I had seen everything, then you surprised me with another one.
Thanks for keeping shaving interesting!

Thanks for the kind words. Many years of collecting has many that sit and takes awhile to get to and I'm trying to use some more from the shelves lately again. I kinda got on a modern kick for a bit and going back to my roots in between the newer ones more. Best wishes !

I wish that someone still made Auto Strops.  Mine works (and shaves) fine, but I need a new strop. 

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).
