I only have one strop so far. Am looking at Lynn/SRD's modular system, so I can try out different leathers without breaking the bank.

It seems like a really smart, smart system. You can try the Premium leather, and English bridle. Not sure what the "scrub leather" is used for?

Have also thought about a Maestro Livi loom, but pricier and have to do an international order (assume you don't have to pay VAT if shipping to US?).
