What width and length of a strop should I look at getting, a 2 or 3 inch wide one?
Right now all I have is a leather scrap piece I picked up from a local leather shop that is about 11 inches by about 2 inches wide. It doesnt seem long enough to me when I practice stropping with an GD straight.
Thx.
