That is a nice looking strop. I would love to be able to try the linen out. Perhaps in the not so distant future one might show up in my mail box.
Westholme makes some lovely strops, I have one of his starter strops - my only strop to date...
I was on his website not too long ago, and my mind started to venture into the danger zone. He has some very high end options I really like, that would make up an amazing strop. When it comes time for me to purchase another strop, it will be from him.
Love the look of yours here. Enjoy!
Alastair Summers makes some wonderful strops. I have his Shell with Latigo as the secondary side and it is a first class strop.
Im thinking about getting a linen strop at sometime too.
Alastair is also a gent to deal with.
i got a spanish horse with horween outrigger tabs and d-rings about two months ago after reading about them here on SRP.
excellent craftsmanship. almost too nice use... almost. =]

Only had it 2 days and feeling an urge to order another just to hang up and admire. Sick or what?
We all have our vices here and strops are not a bad one to have.Quote:

I do too, but I'm not about to admit it on a public forum. :shrug:
I have a pile of them hanging in a safe. You open it up and a plethora of leathers greets your senses.
Quite nice! ;)
:roflmao
I've just ordered a strop the same as in the first post of this thread. Alastair was very helpful and a great guy to deal with.
Now the wait begins 3-4 weeks delivery :w this will be my second strop from Westholme and likely not my last:p
Today my 2nd Westholme strop was delivered, it's the exact one as the first post of this thread, veg tanned cow hide with linen 2nd surface. Alastair's attention to detail is amazing, from the strop to the packaging and the written letter thanking for buying one of his strops.
Check him out if you're looking for a classy strop :beer1:
