What is a ‘Strop’? … I asked
Such an innocent question, “what is a strop?” It was explained to me as being the long strip of leather that the barbers used to sharpen their razor blades.
So I thought it was just a long piece of leather used to hit with. The comments that I heard were that it was a serious piece with an extremely bad impact with pain. It was explained to me that not many people can take more than a few slaps with this strop.
I was able to see first hand as to the physical effect of this strop. On a quick look, it just looked like a double piece of long wide leather sewn together at the top.
After the first strike of this implement, yes I will agree with the rumours that it is painful when struck. As the strop struck one after another strike the pain was becoming impossible to cope with. I did manage to take many, (too please Mistress of course) and it left wide welts, that later turned into bruising.
