    Default Rolling kangaroo travel strops

    I just got some more leather today, so I'm taking a few more orders for my rolling kangaroo travel strops.

    They are 2" wide and about 17" long. Made from 1st grade vegetable tanned kangaroo, which is super strong, with very little stretch, but thin enough to be rolled without harm for travel. This is a very useful little strop that can be stowed in your Dopp kit right along with your razor and brush. They have kangaroo leather thongs for suspension and handle, and comes rolled in a plastic container for shipping, which can also be used when travelling.

    Great for trips away and camping, but I have also sold a number to military personnel who like to pack them in their deployment kit.

    They are $51.00 Aus, which includes international airmail. A little cheaper for Aussie buyers, please PM me.

    Just to be sure I understand, are you selling two for $51?

    No, sorry for the confusion. I just wanted to show what they look like flat and rolled up. They are $51 each. But I have enough leather to make three or four in this run. Two are spoken for already.

    They have a kangaroo leather thong at the top and bottom. On the bottom one is a bead to use for a handle, at the top the thong is knotted with long tails. You can either hook it up, if there is a hook handy, or tie the tails to whatever you like. When you want to put the strop away, simply pull the knots to one side and roll.

    Huge kudos for the one and only Aussie Roo Travel Strop
    I recently got one of these and a paddle strop
    Haven't tried the Paddle strop yet
    Tried the travel strop out a few days ago
    And wow what a nice feel to it

    My limited experience cant say anything about the draw of it
    however the strop felt really good to use
    and the shave afterwards was quite good

    My 2 cents worth for anybody looking
    Give this strop a try

    Many thanks to Legion for making these available to us

    Bye for now

    Hello, Legion:

    What a smart idea. The strop is not only attractive, but I am sure of high quality. I also like the tether attachment. The way it rolls in the plastic container further makes it the ideal travel strop. Well done.

    Regards,

    Obie

    Hi Guys,

    I have a similar strop from Legion which I have been using for about 4 months now. I see no reason to upgrade to a more expensive strop. It is so good and also looks and feels great. The kangaroo ties work really well and are VERY strong. Legion is very innovative with his strop design and manufacture.

    Thanks Legion.
