Ashcroft Collection Balsa Board Strop

Balsa Board Strops

There are many uses for Balsa Board Strops. Loading it with Chromium Oxide is one, and loading it with diamond slurry is another. Whichever you choose, this is an economical way to keep that straight razor at peak performance. Here at the Classic Edge we highly recommend using Chromium Oxide, Iron Oxide or Diamond slurry. Some may say that using Chromium Oxide on Balsa for your Straight Razor is an option, but we believe it is a NECESSITY. So after you are done honing your razor on a finishing stone like an 8K Naniwa or a 10 or 12K Naniwa you should do at least 10 passes on the Chromium Oxide to refine the edge to it's best potential. You will find out quickly that passing the Hanging Hair Test has just become 100% easier.

Dimensions: 3" x 10" or 76.2mm x 255mm

A next level Classic Edge

I've read and followed Phil's comments and suggestions to a "T".
This Balsa board with the "chromium oxide" is a must have to further that edge you've been working on with the stones.
Everything Phil makes mention of, is for the good of the customer. True customer service at its best.
Highly recommend.

Classic edge takes pride in the products they sell. It shows. Personally, I won’t shop elsewhere unless they’re sold out of a product. The balsa wood/crox takes the edge to the next level. 100% must have.

After talking with the staff, I bought one of these coated with chromium oxide and it works wonderfully. It gave my razor a whole new level of edge.
That's what the Classic Edge does, they bring everything to a whole new level, including their amazing customer service.
