Something thin like kangaroo might not be the best choice directly glued to timber.

I think the leather flexes a little. I don't think the strop maker or strop user knows whether it should or not. It might provide great support for a flat strop through optical illusion. Maybe it's all in the leather's flex, but I doubt it.

I like the idea of guarding against too much pressure. I like the idea of a hanging strop being developed purely to adapt to the sensitive full hollow blades. I'm content to not disagree with Mr. Boon.

Now, if I could just disregard barbers like the adept Mr. Liam Finnigan, our theories would be perfect.
