I recently bought this strop in NOS condition. I've owned many shell strops but this easily has the best leather I've ever used. The leather is thin and very soft. I mean, it's really soft. All my razors perform beautifully on it. Conversely, the canvas is 1/8" thick and stiff. It's not pasted though, which is surprising. I'll do that myself. If you can get one, go for it.
