Im pretty happy wi5h mine too Dieseld but ive been thinking a little more corseness my be helpful. I tryed a few of the poly/zippy strops but they just dont make me happy so im going to give the flax a try along with the firehose. Ive got an old linen strop and its just smooth. Im betting all of these do what they should but im just trying to find a bit more.
When i get all my secondary strops in hand ill give a review of my opinions on them if i can. But as we all know, all these cloth, linen, ploy, etc strops do what they do as they should.
