Yes, unfortunately. I bought one of their strops from the B&B classifieds (the same guy is still selling them there, go to the end of the listings) and it was utter crap. A big flaw in the leather made it useless for stropping, and the construction was pretty shoddy. It wasn't worth the $$$ to return, so I put CrOx on the rough side and kept it in the shop so that it wouldn't infest my good strops. It wasn't a very good as a pasted strop either, so it eventually got deep sixed. Based on this one example, I'd give both the strop and B&B a pass...
