Herold Solingen, a German artisan manufacturer established since 1919, has specialised in creating high-quality razor strops. Now owned by the German company Kohl & Laibach, Herold Solingen offers a varied range of razor strops, tension strops and barber belts, all made from high-quality Russian leather.
Heir to a tradition of manufacturing blade-sharpening strops, Herold Solingen offers a wide choice of strops, whether single-sided or multi-sided, in paddle or belt form. The strops, covered in the finest grades of leather, ensure gentle yet highly effective sharpening.
Choosing a Herold Solingen strop for sharpening your straight razor guarantees exceptional quality, precision and durability. Made by Kohl & Laibach in Solingen, Germany, Herold strops use special Russian leather and a vegetable-tanning process to create products of unrivalled quality and workmanship.
The Herold product range includes a variety of razor strops, screw tension strops, hanging strops, and razor pastes (red, blue, green) in block or tube form (yellow, green, red), each corresponding to a particular micron size according to sharpening requirements.
Although the brand prefers discretion, Herold remains an essential name in the field of sharpening strops, offering one of the best value-for-money ratios on the market. Herold's reputation rests on the impeccable manufacture of its range, making it the benchmark for those who demand the best for maintaining their blades.
