THE LEATHER IS A REALLY HIGH QUALITY NAPA LEATHER AND NICE AND THICK. THIS IS GREAT FOR ANYONE TO USE AND NOT A BEGGINERS STROP. THERE IS NO SUCH THING.A BEGINNER NEEDS A STROP JUST LIKE THE SEASONED USER. THIS IS A REVISED REVIEW I ALREADY DELETED MY FIRST REVIEW??. A THREE INCH STROP IS EASIER TO USE BUT THEN YOU NEED TO CONSIDER CUPPING. THE WIDER THE STROP THE MORE CHANCE OF CUPPING. SO THIS IS FINE AT 2.5 INCHES. I PURCHASED A BUFFALO BRAND STROP FROM ROYAL SHAVE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOIULD BE BETTER BECAUSE OF THE PRICE TAG(150.00) THE HARDWARE LOOKED BETTER BUT THE LEATHER WAS TERRIBLE AND IT HAD A DEFECT IN IT. I RETURNED IT BUT THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE. THAT EXPERIENCE ALONE WAS A WAKE UP CALL AND I REALIZED WHAT A BARGAIN THIS STROP REALLY WAS. IF YOUR NEW TO WET SHAVING WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE? YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A STROP IS PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN A HONE. HAVING A STROP IS AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY!!!!! A STONE IS NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS SEND YOUR RAZOR OUT TO GET SHARPENNED EVERY 3-6 MONTHS BUT YOU WILL NEED TO STROP YOUR RAZOR BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY SHAVE. AFTER SHAVING IS JUST A GOOD WAY TO MAKE SURE YOUR EDGE IS DRY BECAUSE THE STROP WILL WICK AWAY ANY MOISTURE IF STILL PRESENT. ALSO USE A PAPER TOWEL TO DRY YOUR BLADE. WHEN YOU STROP YOUR RAZOR THERE IS NO NEED TO BE FAST ABOUT IT. TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO IT RIGHT AND TRY NOT TO CUT YOUR STROP. SEVEN ROUND TRIPS ON THE CANVAS SIDE AND FIFTY ROUND TRIPS ON THE SMOOTH LEATHER SIDE. LIGHT PRESSURE BUT NOT FEATHER WEIGHT PRESSURE. HANG YOUR STROP AT A HEIGHT SOMEWHERE AROUND THE HEIGHT OF YOUR BELLY BUTTON. SPEED WILL DEVELOPE OVER TIME. YOUR MAIN CONCERN IS DOING IT RIGHT. WHEN YOU NICK YOUT STROP ON THE SIDES IF IT IS A PROBLEM JUST SAND IT DOWN WITH SANDPAPER UNTIL IT IS SMOOTH. I HAVE NICKS ON MY STROP AND I DON"T DO ANYTHING TO REMOVE THEM. GOOD LUCK AND REMEMBER THIS IS A GREAT STROP REGARDLESS OF YOUR EXPERIENCE LEVEL. ALSO YOU MAY WANT TO RUB STROP DRESSING ON IT TOO. Review: Great strop, good price - I purchased this strop while looking for a second strop to use, in order to allow me to try out some pastes. My original came with the set when I purchased my straight razor. This strop is significantly nicer. It has a rather long usable area compared to my other strop and others I have seen. Unlike some other reviewers stated, the logo on the one I received was not too large and did not interfere with the use of the strop. Strop was shipped by desertcart.com in a long sturdy box, so it was not rolled up or twisted like I was worried about when I ordered it. The leather side is flat and smooth. The canvas side is stiff and flat as well. The handles are comfortable, the hardware is secure. I couldn't ask for more out of a strop, and I definitely wouldn't pay the prices some places ask for 'nicer' strops that I would not consider nice than this one. Lets not forget how BASIC a strop really is. Honestly, if you have a nice heavy leather belt it would work just as well (Ive talked to people who do this actually, with good results). This is just easier due to the handles and hardware. If you are looking here, dont hesitate to buy this one. Price is better than you will find elsewhere and dont be fooled by the price, this is a quality item. ## Features - Made in USA. - Can be used for sharpening woodworking tools and other fine edges and blades. - Leather will not remove any steel from the edge. - The "green solution" to disposable blades. - Great decorative item or commemorative gift. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DYM5TG | | Best Sellers Rank | #172,745 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #7 in Hair Removal Razor Strops | | Brand | Fromm | | Brand Name | Fromm | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 616 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00023508001270 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 23"L x 2.5"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | FROMM INTERNATIONAL | | Manufacturer Part Number | 300002 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | All Fromm Products carry a Lifetime Guarantee against manufacturer defects.

Price is better than you will find elsewhere and dont be fooled by the price, this is a quality item. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for me *by D***K on March 6, 2023* Mine did come with a small indent on the edge of the leather that I was not not happy about but it hasn't hurt my ability to use the strop. From the start it was stiff and had a slick draw as others have mentioned but I don't really mind that as I have found that usually gives me a better edge. It also had been lightly folded at some point creasing it about 1/3 up from the bottom. I did eventually sand the leather a little bit and added neats oil and the strop has remained slick as ever. I have a Dovo extra wide Russian leather strop and this one actually leaves me with a better edge than it does so take that as you will. The linen side is typical and works fine for its purpose, I use it as a cleaning prep before going to leather and use no compound on it. If not for the indent and crease I would have given this 5 stars because for the price it's a good strop that compares to more expensive ones. Again this strop has a slick draw that may or may not be remedied because of the thick slick leather so it may not be for everyone. If you prefer a draw and still wanna try it avoid any conditioners for a while as they will only make it slick again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fromm Razor Strop Blade Sharpener, Top Grain Cowhide, 2.5 x 23 Inch, Brown, IRS127 - DOVO Dovo Straight Razor ' - Fromm Strop Dressing 4oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/2197447-fromm-razor-strop-blade-sharpener-top-grain-cowhide-2-5](https://www.desertcart.no/products/2197447-fromm-razor-strop-blade-sharpener-top-grain-cowhide-2-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
