you have completely read the article i posted? there is a nick on it however it will not affect the strop performance.

regards,simon

Hi there Coully. I am looking at that strop and can't see any handles or hardware to hook it up...is that how it is? I am new to striahgt shaving and need my first strop and I hear the TM one's are the best....If this is still available I will purchase it ...thanks Bob from Canada
