I am considering making my own strop. I couldn't decide whether to use hemp or flax linen. I made an enquiry with the company that sells flax linen. I wanted prices for 3" and 2 1/2" for 5m of each.

I received a reply that the flax was out of stock and they wouldn't be getting it back in unless I ordered... (wait for it)... 3000m!

Anyone need a 3Km strop?

Think hemp will be the way to go!
