Christmas 2009 Traditional Razor Strop  

T'was the night before Christmas, the Razor Strop was well oiled to deliver such a spanking to that naughty girl or boy. We are proud to present our very Limited Edition Traditional Razor Strop. This year. Really get or give them what they deserve with this exquisitely fine Strop, whether Bad or Good the most unique present.

The Razor Strop became a fixture of the 19th century American barber shops where, according to the jingle, one could receive a "shave and a haircut, for two bits" (twenty five cents)
The nineteenth century barber sharpened his straight razor on the strop, gradually softening the stiff cowhide until it could no longer forge an edge on the razor. Then the strop found its way into the home, where it enjoyed a second life as a fixture of parental discipline. In the American vernacular of the last century, the razor strop equated to the British cane. Generations of young men and women received the correction that they needed to grow into solid citizens of the burgeoning young republic, thanks to this formidable disciplinary tool.

These are fine brand spanking new examples of the strops used in the last century and will be cherished by collectors of such.

This unique hand crafted strop made in rich supple medium heavy 8-10oz Deep Burgundy Red Harness Leather. This Strop  is 22 by 2 inches  with a heavy black leather second layer attached to a nickel swivel snap for conveniently hanging on display or by way of a deterrent.  There is also an Extra Heavy Version made with 10-12 oz leather mean and thick for those who deserve and administer a more severe punishment.

The Traditional Razor Strop comes complete in its own Christmas stocking. So whether they have been bad or good be sure to reward then appropriately :-)
