Bust out that strop and use it! Enjoy the smooth, rich Latigo. Experiment with the cavas.

Tony at least used to sell upgrade kits if you wanted to add a handle to your strop.

I have both a starter strop and an heirloom strop with the seperate canvas. Having the cavas seperate is not necesssarily a good thing. I find that while I'm stropping on one strop, the other one is hanging down and swinging around a bit. Not a problem at all, but just giving you a perspective on possible give and takes of the strops.

Personally , I really like the integrated handle of the starter strop, as there is nothing to run into whilst stropping (aside from your hand........don't ask...).

Or go out and buy another one!
