However this does bring me to 2 questions I was going to ask after more searching on the site.
Aside from being different is there any advantages/disadvantages to a board strop vs regular strop? I liked the idea of a board strop as I dotn really have anywhere to hand a regular stop from.
Also it seems that 5/8 and 6/8 are the more common sizes I went for the 5/8 because I thought go with what's common, because its common for a reason and pick the smaller of the 2 because I thought smaller would be easier to learn on. Was my reasoning sound and is there any actual difference aside from preference on size?
