New Walkin Horse with pics

Hello all! I was beset with strop acquisition disorder and thankfully Jarrod of TSS could help me out! When he said the split side strop was his favorite stropping surface I had to give it a go. Then when I found out I could have it paired with genuine linen I was hooked! Thought a little Strop porn was in order so here it is! A big thank you to Jarrod for his usual fantastic service.

Tried it out tonight on a Sheffield I have been using lately. Really like the way the draw feels. Like stropping on firm velvet. Has a smooth creamy feel. Very good shave after. Now one razor does not tell the whole story obviously, but it is off to a good start!
 
Very nice, Brian! If I didn't own a TM I would probably go with WH....beautiful strop!!

My latest disorder seems to be strops. I have a Scruppleworks on order and when Tony has made a full recovery I will definitely place an order with him. Already have two Mountain Mikes Latigo and a Roo strop from SRD. I got the look from my Misses when this one came. She doesn't even know about the Scruppleworks yet!!! Anybody have a spare couch?
 
I almost bought that strop from Jarrod. I've been told that WH makes a great strop but I wanted it for the 3" linen strop. I would like to buy a linen individually but they are impossible to find!!! Very nice strop porn!!

Give Jarrod a call he may still have a few pieces of the Scruppleworks linen left. I got one of those from him a while back to upgrade one of my strops. I love the linen component! Feels good under the blade. I have never really liked the feel of any of the cottons or webbing. Dovo white paste on the cotton makes it passable, but one stropping on true flax linen and there is no going back.
 
I got the same strop from Jarrod, but with the cotton back. The linen was not available when I got mine. Now I'm thinking about getting one with the linen. It does look like the TM premium steerhide but feels totally different. It feels like velvet or suede. The draw is smooth and light.
