    Default Bismark strop from eBay

    Someone is selling New bismark strops on eBay for only $26.00

    Are these fake? Or are they dovo bismark brand? Or just cheap bismark china fake strops?

    I thought about buying one but thought I better ask first. They have been listed for several weeks.

    There is no "dovo bismark" brand. The brand is Dovo, there is a straigh razor called dovo bismarck. If you are referring to BISMARK SHAVING SUPPLIES LEATHER STROP 1068 NEW UNUSED | eBay

    it's definetely not dovo. I don't know if it's anygood though, is quite cheap though, although that is not reason enough to say its bad. I would'nt buy it simply becouse I tend to buy from reputable dealers. I recommend you the SRD strops, the cheapest one is great:
    Straight Razor Designs 2 Black Latigo Strop with D-Rings - $44.99 :

    Thats really an awesome strop, you don't need anything else.I've tried more expensive strops(premium leather etc), but it's just nicer, but it will do the same to your blade.

    I would ask the seller where these Bismarcks are made.

    When in doubt remember the old adage, you get what you pay for.
