Griffith Shaving Goods Shell Cordovan & Cowhide - 3 Inch Wide D-Ring Double Sided Razor Strops
Note: Choose your strop from the numbered photo. Strop lengths are listed below for each strop.
These shell cordovan razor strops, made in our own shop are composed of British tanned shell cordovan which has been bonded to a very smooth, heavier weight vegetable tanned cowhide. This gives the thin cordovan some extra weight and durability as well as adding a second wonderful stropping surface on the reverse side.
The shell cordovan used in this strop is the ultimate in top-tier leathers. It is often used in dress shoes and other luxury items and is prized for its smooth, slick surface. This particular type of leather's rarity and cost is due to the many months needed for the tanning process and the fact that only a few square feet are obtained from each horsehide.
These strops are totally handmade in the GSG workshop; from leather selection, hand cutting, beveling and assembly. The metal hardware is all stainless steel, except for the screws which are nickel plated brass. The stainless hanger is a rugged sailing type clasp.
