    Robin,

    Right you are about the SRD strops; they are quality at a great price. I'm especially fond of the SRD English Bridle.

    The Tolorf (Scrupleworks) strop has spoiled me, though. Love the feel of it. Of course, Neil Miller's strops are a delight.

    Which brings me to Kanayama 80000: suddenly I don't particularly care for it. Go figure. But as I said, Tolorf has spoiled me.

    So to the OP, you already have plenty of choices. All good stuff.

    You have one more option in the UK. A gentleman named Alastair Summers owns Westholme Razor Strops. He does beautiful work and the folks I know that have one just love it. The only problem is, the only way to contact him is through his facebook page.
