    I hope so because the store is close to where i live, and its not expensive.

    Ilija maybe you are aware, being a canadian and familiar with lee valley.

    Yea, looks pretty good, assuming the leather is good. I cut off the handle on my travel strops to fit in my shaving kit.

    I never liked the looks of that leather. I went to see them in person and they just don't look smooth enough for my edge.

    Got a #2 strop from tony to use as a travel strop. Worked out so well I've been using it every day.

    I use one of Tonys practice strops for travelling, it's almost as good as the #1 strop but rolls up nicely into a compact ball (being single thickness) and is easily stowed inside a mug or a plastic pot etc.

    I also just purchased a #2 from Tony; how do you travel with it? Roll it up, lay it flat in luggage or something else?
