Made another strop today, this one a more basic design. 22" long, 2-5/8" wide. Really like the feel!

Very nice and I like your hardware too. What leather did you use? What's the performance like? Draw?

Those are some nice strops. I wish there was a leather shop around here, so I could make my own.

I'll try to post some better pics later today after church. It's a chocolate tanned leather, seems very high quality. I'll test it more too and see what the draw is comparable to.
UPDATE: Snapped a few photos while the kiddos were in the tub:
And finally, here it is with my shaver this AM, a Warren Velvet Wedge:
