My 3" English Bridal strop has been through the wars, it was my first strop and I feel sorry for the poor thing.
Saying that I repaired it successfully, sanded it a bit and rubbed it with a mix of neetsfoot and glycerin. The glycerin has slowed it down a lot.
I also have a 2 1/2" Buffalo strop. I have found, for me anyway that a narrower strop like 2 1/2" is much nicer to strop on and is much less likely to get nicked.
The only thing I feel is that my razor feels like it's being seriously stropped with my heavier Bridal, the Buffalo is very fast and my razor doesn't feel like it is being stropped into submission.
Fortunately, I understand that it doesn't matter what the draw is, it's just preference and they all strop the same. It's technique over leather, just feels more stroppy on a heavier draw even though it makes my wrist ache more.
