What Strop did you use today? Pictures please

[Heavy_Metal_Hound]

Here on Badger and Blade we have "What did you use today" threads for Straight Razors, every variety of safety razor, brushes, even soap. But as far as I am aware there are no "Strop of the Day*" type threads...that is until now. So now I shall redress this unfortunate oversight by providing a thread where our beloved strops can get the recognition that they deserve for the important service that they provide. I admit that my own posts shall be rather repetitive for the time being as I only own the one strop. But I strongly suspect that some of you have more than one strop.

To get this lil ball rolling, here is my strop an Invisible Edge standard plus canvas backed hanging strop.

*Moderators: if it turns out that there is, in fact, a "strop of the day," type thread laying dormant somewhere. Please delete this thread.

I used two different Tony Miller strops. The one has a hemp secondary strop that I am really favoring but I used the TM horsehide to finish.

Used my TM steerhide today. Did some honing this morning and I didn't want to put a fresh edge on my new English Bridle strop yet lol.

My strop for the week is Tony Miller smooth horsehide and flax linen.

One of the best

Tony Miller horsehide and flax linen tonight. It was very satisfying to see how much the linen improved my coticule edge and then the leather took it even further.

Yeah I concur- I bought a flax component separately a bit back because of a recommendation by some of the coticule guys. Won't hone without it.

Tony Miller and Red Imp combo stropping for the past few shaves. The linen on the red imp is too stiff and hard from restoration and needs to be softened up before I’ll take a razor to it.

So I’m stropping before the shave on the red imp shell and after on TM linen. Works beautifully.

Tony Miller Roughout w/custom Teju lizard bolsters. This is one fine strop

Used one year old Horween Shell Cordovan Strops.

Last several days it's been Tony Miller plain roughout horse and Keith Johnson firehose. Plus occasionally the homemade steerhide for a different feel.

I have all three of these. If you get a chance try the TM hemp, it’s really nice.

Tony Miller flaxseed linen then horse hide. Was honing from a coticule so the flaxseed is a must imo.
