What would be a good "Next Strop"?
I've got my Illinois #127 and it's been doing a heck of a job for me, but I think I'm ready to step up to something that may be more effective.
As I mentioned, the old 127 has been doing a good job for me but it's been battered, nicked, cut, scraped and scratched during the journey. It's a good friend that's taught me a lot.
I'm noticing that the blade on my razor isn't contacting the entire usable surface of the leather as I strop. The surface of the leather appears to have high and low spots. Not really a surprise, I mean it was stripped off of a dead beeve and then treated badly.
I like the linen second strop that came with the Illinois, do most new strops come as leather/linen sets?
Anyway, what's a good next step up? I'm not really concerned about price at this time. I just want a good strop set.
I appreciate any input.
