.....and dreaming of the day I could buy one of his strops, I got to wondering about the favourite strop widths of members here.

Are you a wide eyed 3 inch latigo type? Or, perhaps, the narrow visioned 2 inch horse hide is more your stroke? Regardless of "skin" type, what's your preferred width? I've been enjoying the old strop I got from a member here so much, that I don't think I want a 3 incher anymore?

I'm getting kind of partial to the the 2 1/2 incher that I have been using and wonder if getting a 3 inch wide latigo will mess up my stroke?
