    Aww man, I misread it as "4 side" and got all excited... The hunt continues.

    This strop looks like it has a common problem for old strops. That is, it was folded in half and it might be quite difficult to get it completely straight. That is not to say that it cannot be straightened, but it will take some effort.

    Thanks for that info.All this time Ive been stropping my razors on this strop and I didnt have a clue this was affecting my sharp edges.All those close shaves were just a figment of my imagination

    Great looking strop! I'd buy it myself if it weren't for the "CONUS / no echecks" thing.

    Ah, so my quest for a wonderfully close and comfortable shave is only ongoing because I have not yet consulted my imagination!
