Well not that I need more strops but have been chatting with Alastair at Westholme for the past couple months and he is sending me a Shell, Spanish HH and Roo strops to try, don't plan on adding 3 more but will get to strop on all 3 and pick the one I want to keep, supposedly he shell strops are the bomb, I only have one beater strop and the rest have no cut's or brusies but if it happens at some point I just need to move on as it's only leather.

I think you'll like the Roo strop, they are fast like the Kanayama. But are different in feel.

Westholme strops are really nice, I will buy one sometime I,m sure cause I just can't seem to keep my self imposed buying embargo. But with the strops I have I,m really already into the realm of greatness. You won't go wrong, I had a Roo strop form SRD it was really fast but a different feel. I liked it but have since gave it away to someone who was in a need. I'd stick with the shell if it was me. Tc
