RAZOR-STROPPING DEVICE.

The Blade Is Always in the Right Position. A cutler has recently brought out a razor-stropping device to be used in connection with safety razors, as here shown. It consists of a nickled frame, with a round wooden part fastened rigidly to the center of two side arms pivoted at tbje top. These move back and forth, reversing the blade every time the the machine is changed. At the end of the arms is a spring metal leceiver for the blade of a safety razor. A slight, pressure on the strop when the

machine is in motion causes the blade to tarn always in an opposite direction-to which the apparatus is going, making it impossible to cut the strop and at the same time inquiring no skill to sharpen the razor.

CANNOT CUT THE STROP.
