My strops... Handmade in my Kitchen!
Hi there!
I don't know if you remember my dilema, but some weeks ago I had some trouble with my (at the time...) only strop. I pasted it not knowing that I would need a daily-stropping-strop! Well... I'm a newbie, so... you get the silly picture, right? Anyway... at the time I was searching the SRP forums for an answer for my troubles and came across a thread started by a guy who was making his way into the strop-making business. And I thought "great idea!" And put my hands to it... I posted on that same thread and anounced (so I would be correct and polite...) that I would do the same, but with no intention whatsoever to sell them. I also stated that I was going to shamelessly copy the "travel strop" model from Mr. Tony Miller...
So... I would like to give you some feedback on that matter.

Please tell me what you think, ok? And also, if any of you gents are interested in knowing more about these strops, I would be glad to tell you more about them.
So... from left to right: the firts strop I made - its about (15.7 x 1.9 inches); in the middle its the second strop I made. It is very small and I made it especialy for traveling purposes (it's 11.8 x 1.5 inches). I like it a lot and it is now my daily use strop... I find it to provide a more precise stroping motion than a big strop. It suits me... Plus, it has a second leather part that is pasted so I can refresh the blade from time to time. The last one is my Dovo strop with some black paste on it. Don't use it very often now... but it's a good strop, of course, but is reserved for refreshing the edge.
Tell me what you think. I am very satisfied with them and I use them every day.
Share your thoughts!
Thanks!
