READY TO SHAVE RAZOR – Our Damascus razor comes ready to shave after a quick strop. Once you get your new barber straight razor, just give it a good strop the night before you shave.

Pictured here is a circa 1937 Stropone razor sharpener. The company’s name, Stropone Inc., is a play on the word strop, or stropper, which was a strip of leather used for sharpening straight razors.
