I’ve been using this strop for around a year. It’s my daily strop, I tried different strops in between but always end up going back to this one as my main strop. It’s a top quality product and the leather bit is great. The surface is icy and it could be a bit slippery. I had to condition the leather after 3 months which is unusual but did not since then.
The only disappointing thing about this strop would be the linen side. It’s a very stiff piece of material and not soft at all compared to the piece of leather. After all the stropping I did, it still doesn’t feel like it’s broken in yet…
I found the price a bit high but then, I don’t think that I would buy another strop. If I do, I might either get the same or horsehide if it’s unavailable. This is the shorter(length) strop and find it perfect
