As you use your razor, it will become dull over time. A blunt razor gives a worse shave than a razor sharp one of a kind. Fortunately, it is possible to grind the razor so that it always ensures the optimal shave.

It is therefore important that you buy a leather strap when investing a razor. A leather strap (also called an ironing belt or abrasive leather) is a tool you need to use to keep your razor sharp and clean. The leather strap aligns the ultra-fine edge to your razor blade and smooths out small scratches and notches so that it slides across your skin more easily.

We have two types of leather straps in the range. One is a Paddle and the other a Hanging. The paddle has a handle, is easy to use and does not require much space. The hanging strap, on the other hand, is equipped with a loop at the end so that it can be fastened while strapping. It is the most effective strap and also the completely original version, which is synonymous with a classic old school shave.
