Customer Reviews of Scalpmaster Barber Strop
Customer Review: quite a good strop for a very low price
Summary: 4 Stars
I first ordered one of these strops becuase it was the perfect size, and horsehide, and a really low price. Then I read all of the negative reports, and had my doubts, but for the price thought that I would find out for myself. The truth is I ordered two of them becuase of the low price, and to save on shipping, and the extra 9 bucks for a practice trap was nothing. Then I also purchased a couple of two dollar and six dollar practive razors just to have something to break the new strops in with. ( two of those cheap practice razors also ended up being quite good also)
Anyway the two new strops arrived, and I was really surprized aty how good they were. The most important part, the horsehide leather, was real good.
The fasteners were just a bit weak, but useable, and those can so eaily be changed out with new stuff easily acquired from the local hardwear suppier for a couple of bucks. Again the most important part is the leather, and both strops has quite good leather, thich wide and quite smooth, and actually not too hard, but remember these are new not broken in strops.
Perhap the nylon back piece is not what you want, but it can be removed and the back side of the horsehide strop can have some jewelers rouge applied. Anyway it may prove to be fine I just am not use to it, and will have to find out. I do know the leather will work out just fine, and I do know the back side with treatment does the same thing as a second strop.
Come on guys this strop is really fantastic for the price. It is a good piece of leather, and a really nice size. Sure a person can go ahead and pay $60 or $80 dollars for something a bit better, but you are not going to beat this strap for less than forty bucks. This will be a real strop instead of a downsized get by with strop, and horsehide will end up so much better than cowhide.
I have sharpened knives and razors for forty plus years. Even today I touched up a sloppy shave with my pocket knife on my neck, dry, and without burning my face. I know sharpening, and these strops are fine. They and will break-in and up being great. A person can buy one of those five dollar cheap razors, and break-n this strop and have something really good that could last a lifetime. I think all of you over critical people who have bad mouthed this bargain strop need to rethink your opinion. Both of the ones I got were well worth the price.
It is an excellent piece of leather that is worth more than twice the price for just that perfect piece of horsehide which is plenty wide, and long enough too.
