    I have a Neil Miller shell Cordovan/English linen strop that I love dearly. Since they are no longer made, Neil having passed away, I'd look for another shell Cordovan/English linen strop from another maker.

    Only one strop??? No!!!!!!

    If forced to choose just one, it would have to be my latigo bench strop. It's not the prettiest, but I love its draw.

    I'm with Bob, as I cherish my Neil Miller Shell Cordovan.

    I have several shell strops, however I don't use them with heavier grinds.
    If I had only one, I would go with bridle or boarhide to use with any type blade.
    JMO, YMMV
