2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

A quick and efficient shave today because my time is limited, but the luxury travel kit (shown in the photo) delivered a great shave.

Is that travel strop 3" wide? It looks great! Is the leather supple enough to roll the it up?

3" x ~15". It is steerhide and not too supple, but the draw is terrific. I measured my smallest carryon bag and found a place where the strop can be placed flat. Tony made the strop to order so I can always pack it flat. He provided a plastic sleeve to protect it. As you can see, he did a terrific job.

A true luxury travel strop, very nice!
