Thanks for all the comments on the SRD Premium 1.. My new one arrived this morning and like previous writers i was very impressed with the quality and thickness of the leather and the robustness of the hardware i have no doubt it will perform as intended. the second strop is a webbing which i have absolutelay no experience of stropping a razor on but again going by the quality of the SRD Premium 1 i have no doubt it will cut the mustard or it would not be there ... I will comment on the strop again after i have used it a week or two.. Best Regards to all Scotchie
