Black Label Razor Strop

Premium Cowhide · 3" x 15"

This is the Black Label standard — our highest tier strop, built with no compromises.

The Black Label Razor Strop is crafted from full genuine cowhide, hand-finished, and fitted with upgraded, heavy-duty hardware. The ultra-wide 3-inch surface allows straight-down stropping without the need for an X-pattern, while the 15-inch working length provides smooth, controlled travel on every pass.

Why Black Label Stands Apart

• Elite Black Label Quality: Premium materials and construction throughout

• Full Genuine Cowhide Leather: Smooth, durable, and designed to break in naturally

• 3-Inch Width: Simplifies stropping with consistent edge contact

• 15-Inch Working Length: Ample travel for controlled, effective strokes

• Upgraded Hardware: Solid fittings built for years of daily use

• Hand-Finished Edges: Reinforced durability where it matters most

This strop is made for shavers who notice the difference — in leather feel, hardware weight, and overall build quality.

Optional Personal Engraving

All strops can be personalized with up to three uppercase initials, engraved directly into the leather.
A subtle mark of ownership that adds character without affecting performance.

Engraving Instructions

• Enter up to three uppercase letters in the notes section at checkout

• Letters only — no symbols, special characters, or emojis

• Placement and size are standardized for a clean, consistent finish

• Because engraving is applied directly to the leather, engraved strops are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged

Why a Proper Strop Matters

Better materials and proper stropping lead to:

• A sharper, more consistent edge

• Fewer passes and less irritation

• Blades that hold their edge longer

• Smoother, more controlled shaves

Which One Should You Choose?

• Standard Razor Strop: Reliable, professional-grade performance for daily maintenance

• Black Label Razor Strop: Premium materials, wider surface, upgraded hardware — built once, relied on for years

No fluff. No shortcuts. Just well-built strops designed for real shaving routines.
