1910 Stropper
Both my grampas had stroppers in their bathrooms, and they weren’t used for disposable blades. They used straight razors with a cup of hard shaving cream and a brush. Put a little water in the cup, brush up a lather, then pay attention.
For those of you who grew up later than I did, the strop was a strip of leather hanging by a ring adjacent to the barber’s chair. Barbershops still had them when I was a kid, and they were used to get rid of a used blade’s microscopic burl:
BTW, $2 in 1910 was about $50 in 2015 bucks.

Saturday Matinee – Fritz the Dog, Rockabilly Speed Drawing, Billy Woodward & The Senders, The Howlin’ Brothers, Imelda May with Darrel Higham
Fritz The Dog finally gets it.
This vid is entitled “Rockabilly Speed Drawing.” It’s cool and fast and rockabilly. Not sure what the connection is besides the sound track, but it’s still cool and fast and rockabilly.
Billy Woodward & The Senders. Awesome retro sound.
The Howlin’ Brothers crank out some home-grown basics.
Imelda May is killer with “The Right Amount of Wrong.”
Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here tomorrow.
