Razor strop

Razor strop

In origin the word "strop" is simply an alternative form of "strap", but it is now mainly used in the sense of a flexible rectangular piece of leather or canvas used for sharpening a razor, also known as a "razor strop".

It may be in the form of a hanging belt or a hand-held paddle.
