Strops are like razors. There are hundreds of brands out there. Unlike razors though where there are brands in vintage items that are well known, in strops I'm not aware of any names that jump out at you. The only exception are where razor companies sold strops and they really didn't make them just put their name on them but then again many razor companies didn't make em either.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
