    Never used a Kanayama strop but I can tell you that if and when I need a new strop to replace my Neil Miller shell Cordovan leather strop I will simply order another. Very pleased with the strop and Neil Is a gent to deal with.

    I have the #3 and the 90000 and I think the 90000 is the ultimate. I've never handled a Neil strop so I can't comment about them. The cloth component with the kanayama isn't the best and Neil beats that one flat.

    I'm sorry you don't like the linen with the Kanayama, I think it is the best I own, at least after I broke it in, it did take a while, but man what a strop.

    The maker of the strop had said his choice of materials for the cloth component was based on what he could source in Japan. The implication was it was a compromise from the start. Besides, I have a vintage heavy linen strop that pretty much beats everything so it's a high bar to compare anything too.

    I am always looking for a better strop (I don't know why), What vintage heavy linen do you have?
