    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.

    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.

    We all have our vices here and strops are not a bad one to have.
    This sounds slightly weird but i like to have a good sniff of my strops.

    I do too, but I'm not about to admit it on a public forum.

    I have a pile of them hanging in a safe. You open it up and a plethora of leathers greets your senses.
    Quite nice!
