To bombay, I am so old I wa there when they invented linen.
To 10pups, there will always be a str8 user who would delight in different colored strops. Think pink for our lady shavers.
To edhewitt, a sewing machine? Who do you think your'e talking to? I currently have three sewing machines. Two Singers that are about as old as I am (and are my benchmark on how to keep on ticking despite of age) and one Viking full of electronics that acts like a prima donna half the time.

To all, I went to the Wiki and read the quick and dirty denim strop piece. I am mentally working on how to improve what was shown, will keep everyone posted as it develops. I am also thinking of how to make it as a stable sleeve that can be slipped over a leather strop or even make it as a denim bench strop (you could do that and save me the effort). All this, of course, has to fit in with my creative work, my part time work as a bookkeeper for my son and trying to find where I can get Welsh language lessons without having to go there, and lastly having to keep up with the insanity/inanity of the viral thread started by that imp, MrPeters (Damon, you realize your name is one letter from demon?).

I will now go and have breakfast, leisurely read the Sunday paper, morning ablutions w/hopefully a BBS shave, medicate my two lady cats (old age & high blood pressure) and eventually get back to this thread sometime this afternoon. G'day mates!
