Hallo,
nach einigen Tagen der Suche habe ich in einem englischsprachigen Forum eine synthetische Alternative zum klassischen Lederriemen gefunden.
www.straightrazorplace.com/forums/vendors-corner/13861-ne...
Die wichtigsten Aussagen sind wohl:
"The surface is not as smooth as the latigo or honey brown but from a distance it looks like a latigo strop.
It's a bit on the narrow side, probably about 2" but I don't have a ruler here.
The linen is softer than with the old generation.
The hanging hardware is better than what was there before. The old hardware would force me to strop at a sideways angle. The new hardware allows the stropping to be fully horizontal.
The draw was massive and took time to get used to, especially since I had to hang the strop higher than I usually do.
It seemed to do the trick. Gave me a very smooth shave. So far it looks like we have a winner."
sowie:
"While working in the bush, I didn't have too many opportunities to shave (about 4-5 in the last 2 weeks), but the strop has been working just fine. You have to watch the pressure as it has monstrous draw, but it makes for a great traveller (or daily user for vegetarians/vegans):
1) Works quite well as a strop
2) Resistent to the elements
3) Doesn't leave any residue on the blades
The downers:
1) The linen; compared to the strop I got from Tony a couple of years ago. It seems to be softer and looser, but that may be a feature of the treatment.
2) The width. I guess I'm too partial to the 2.5" dimension."
Bestellen kann man die guten Stücke wohl hier:

Da der Zollfreibetrag ab 1.Dez 2008 von 22€ auf 150€ erhöht wird, denke ich ernsthaft über eine solche Anschaffung nach.

Hat hiermit jemand vielleicht schon Erfahrungen gemacht oder eine Meinung darüber? Richtig klassisch traditionell ist es natürlich nicht ...
Zum teste eigne ich mich wohl eher nicht, da ich noch ein ziemlicher Anfänger bin.
Vielen Dank |
