If you price shell cordovan, you'll think that $100 for any strop made with cordovan is awfully cheap. I went out of my way a few years ago to get horween shell and the leather basically cost me $150 for the strop. Horween nailed me for $225 with shipping for the shell and I sold the remaining leather of the shell (after I cut the strop out of the longest part in the middle) for $75. Great strop, but still, it was $150 for the leather and no linen and i had to make it and brass fixtures to hold it together.
