I have a question about linen backing. I have one of Neil's Cordovan strops without linen on hold or I can wait and he can make one with linen (little narrower 2.5" as opposed to 2.75" with no linen). How critical is the secondary fabric for effective stroping? Should I get the 2.75" with no linen or wait for the 2.5" with linen.
BTW, Neil is a classy guy and a real pleasure to deal with. Absolutely first class customer service.
