  2. I thought so too. They were basically a way to take your strop with you when traveling without worrying about it getting damaged, and it would take up less space than a strop packed flat.

    The DE razor put an end to them. And they weren't manufactured much past the early 1900's, no later than the 1920's or so.

  4. Probably wouldn't be all that hard to convert one of those...

    Strop manufacturers ought to look into it. Junk yards are full of those things.

    I don't plan on being a collector. (I have 3 safety razors so far in about 7 weeks).
    But I wanted at least one stainless steel model. Can't wait for it to get here.
  13. I think you need a Merkur progress as well.

  18. I use to keep honeybees and my son mentioned that he wanted a smoker for one of his shelves. So I found one for his Christmas or birthday gift.
