Used to sharpen dull wits and put a keen edge on intellect.

A long, smooth strip of oiled leather - just apply vigorously to the brain, using the correct wrist action.

Essential for those rare occasions when you've been to the pub for a long, boozy lunch and then a very important client suddenly wants a conference call ....

       My, and a few privileged friends's Brain strop is a couple bags-o-Ringer's Lactate when such situations arise.   

       The sobering effect usually leads to a second wind of partying, however.
