Has anybody tried an AOS strop?

It's a Dovo strop, or at least from the same outfit that makes the Dovo strops (actually I think I can read "Dovo" on the one in their picture). They're pretty good but not the best, and the AOS versions are overpriced like all their stuff.
Classic Shaving sells a variety of Dovo strops, I'm not sure which one AOS is selling but the similar-looking strops at Classic run from $35 to $60 compared to AOS $75.

Its a Dovo strop. I'd say you would be happier with a Tony Miller or a Ken Rup. The Dovo's are typically very narrow, usually under 2".
You say that like it's a bad thing. I love the 2" width. They do make a 3" wide version if you're into that sort of thing.

Wow! Thanks for you responses.
I am thinking of getting a Tony Miller, but I'm afraid that they will be sold out by the time I hear his store is open.
I do not care which size it is, as long as it is good quality.

My personal favorite is the 2" and I'd probably enjoy the 1.75". AOS wasn't very forthcoming on the width and I was pointing out many are less than 2".

Oh no. Not me. One strop. I already have two straights that I acquired some years ago. A DblDuck Goldedge and one with "CARBOMAGNETIC" written on the blade, I already sent them for honing, and I want to be ready when I get them back. I have about 7 DE razors but 4 of those are going to be Christmas gifts.
For those with limited budgets, self control can be a curse....
