I bought the DOVO strop from classic shaving and it works fine. However, I later discovered this forum and have heard people say they like Tony's hanging strop better than the DOVO. If I recall correctly, Tony's hanging strop is bigger and as good if not better than the DOVO, and is either cheaper or the same price. Also, since Tony has given me such helpful advice previously, I recommend his strop instead. But the DOVO is just fine.
