OK, you force me to admit that in addition to having one of Tony's strops with all the hardware hanging in my bathroom, I also have one of his seconds with no hardware that does indeed roll up nicely for travel. You're really backing me into a corner here!

The remaining advantages of the hone are that it's somewhat smaller, and is lightly abrasive. The ability of the hone to sharpen the blade as well as align the edge could be a factor on a very long trip.

Sharpening could be addressed by pasting the strop so it has some abrasive action. The linen side of the strop I use at home is pasted, and I rarely need to hone a razor when I'm using that strop regularly.
