Has anyone gotten a SRD strop and opted for the 100 cotton instead of their webbing. If so how does it work or is the webbing better. I am thinking of buying a Premium I strop and wonder if i should get the webbing or cotton. I would like to put dovo white paste on it. for everyday stropping.
bump.
Nobody has used the Cotton from Straight razor design. Well then may I ask how the webbing would work with the dovo white? Thanks guys for any input.
O and one more thing. Is the draw on the Premium I strop less than that of the latigo...
I haven't used the cotton but I have the premium 1 with the webbing. First of all I love the premium 1 and it has become my go to strop. It has more draw than horse and less than latigo. For me it feels just about right and it is a beautiful piece of leather. As far as the webbing. I got the strop when it was the only option. If there had been a cotton or a linen option I would have taken it but now I'm glad that there wasn't at that time.
I was skeptical about the webbing what with it being nylon or some sort of synthetic but I recently started using it and I am getting very good results with it. Whether it is really better than my linen or not is hard to say but I tend to think that it is. I don't have any kind of scientific training to back this up or to be sure of it. i am only going by how the razors I am stropping on it feel when I shave with them. The difference is subtle but I do believe it is there.
I am now doing the method that thebigspendur came up with in "the great experiment" threads. I do 60 and 60. I don't use paste on the webbing or on any of the linen strops I have for that matter. I reserve that for my hanging felt and my flatbed and loom strops.
Me too, on the Premium I/Nylon as well.Quote:

I don't have a cotton strop from SRD but I do have on from TM and I really like it. I don't think I would go with anything different.
