Thiers Issard Leather Paddle Strop – Double-Sided Beechwood

Maintain a professional-grade edge on your straight razor with the Thiers Issard Leather Paddle Strop. Handcrafted in France, this dual-sided tool is engineered for those who demand precision, durability, and portability in their grooming kit.

Genuine European Beechwood Core

The foundation of this strop is solid European Beechwood, meticulously air-dried and kiln-dried to prevent warping. The rigid paddle design provides a perfectly flat, stable surface that ensures a consistent angle across the entire blade—making it an ideal choice for both master barbers and those new to straight razor shaving.

Two Premium Leather Surfaces

Equipped with two distinct calf leather sides, this strop covers every stage of daily edge maintenance:

Grainy Black Calf Leather: The textured side is designed for the initial realignment of the razor”s edge. PLEASE NOTE: Apply sharpening pastes or stropping compounds ONLY to this grainy black side.

Smooth Brown Luggaré Nubuck Calf Leather: A velvet-soft, natural brown finishing side. This premium calf leather is designed for the final stropping stage and should be kept clean of pastes to ensure a smooth, irritation-free shave.
