I think it is the coolest razor ever made.
I have thought about that. However, it is a very, very thin leather-about 1mm thick and I have yet to see anything I could cannibalize. I even thought about contracting one of the well known shave vendor sites that makes their own strops to do it for me but I never got around to it. Maybe this year!
