Who's got one? I have a 2 1/2" Old No. 2 Latigo with linen and it is just marvelous. The latigo on this strop has a nice (perfect) amount of draw without being "grabby". And 24" long!?!?! I'm having trouble using the entire length of this beast.

I picked one up when Tony had them briefly a little over a month ago. Went with the classic barbers end as that is what I prefer.
Agree with you on the draw - It is just perfect! All around a great strop and worth every penny.

Thanks guys. The design was based on a plain, straight cut end, hence the extra length as 4" or 5" would be used up in gripping it. Most guys though wanted dee rings or handles so they got lots of extra usable length.
I can always shorten them for you if the length proves troublesome.

"Beast" in a good way
I'm used to a ~20" stropping surface, so this strop felt like a runway at O'Hare 
I didn't know about these until a few days ago and i see Tony is done until next month so i guess i'll have to wait a month until i order mine. Something to look forward to after the holidays!!
