Are they still selling these strops ?; I thought they were out of production.

[–] whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, they're out of production. Mr. Naomi Kanoyama retired in 2022. I stumbled on this NOS #80000 on ebay for a crazy good price, less than hour after being listed.

I'm wondering how much she'll cordovan strop contributes, and how much this specific Nakayama does

This specific Kanayama plays a huge part. An absolute Grail find.

Interesting. I find the draw of the cordovan to be wonderful but cannot detect any difference in edge-alignment performance between the Kanoyama and my Tony Miller strops. This doesn’t stop me using the Kanoyama, though :)

It's just the thrill of having one, much less such a nice one. It's been a nice change up from my Black Latigo. There will always be room for my Tony Miller!

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 6 months ago

I agree. I am thrilled to have one.

Kanayama being the shell cordovan strop?
