The two vintage strops you have presented so far aren't even worth considering as first-line strops, and the proprietor of the shop you mention has been banned from this forum for deceptive practices, as best I recall. Keep using your Whipped Dog strop and save your pennies for a quality strop from Straight Razor Designs, Larry Miller, etc.

Idk who Larry Miller is but I just bought a Tony Miller strop.

Google Certifyd Deep Cut strop and you'll see what a quality strop it is.... my question was gauging the leather condition from pictures which is hard to do.

I'm super glad to know that guy may have a bad rep

Thank you
