While I'm not giving up my leather strops any time soon, this is an interesting concept.

I'm thining that it might make a good travel strop, as it might not be as prone to creasing (from being packed), resistant to the stresses of travel (altitude, humidity, water, etc.). I suspect that the draw could be lightened by using some sort of wax (vs. oil), but that everyone would have to experiment for themselves.

Keep us posted Tony.
