Thread: Has anyone else here found they get better results with smaller strops?

I sent a note to SRD asking if they would make their higher-end or custom strops available in 2-inch versions and they said no.

Not sure which is the more appropriate smiley:

I didn't really need to be forced in to it because I wanted one any way, but when I went for horse, I got a TM because he sells them in 2". A 2" premium II would have been a nice option though, but I guess most guys who want that just get the 3". So far it sounds like there would be very few guys interested .

i watched a Dovo manufacturing video on youtube and the woman that was stroping the finished products was stropping like a pro but she looked to be using about three to four inches of the strop only, then they show a guy doing the same but slower than the woman for sure! i'm no pro and wouldn't know the differance but, it would seem these people strop all F'ing day so using the whole thing slow or fast probably doesn't make to much of a differance!
