Scrupleworks I have and this is the strop that I cut a little. Although I think that the strop can be repaired, the cuts are not very deep. In addition, I want to try the strop of another master, too.
I guess I'll wait for Alastair when he starts taking orders, but for now I have a Mastro Livi loom strop, and I'll also try to repair my Scrupleworks .

Dmitri, strops are like everything else in shaving, they are all different and different people will have a preference for the one they prefer. I have several (Livi, Neil Miller Shell, Scrupleworks, Tony Miller, Westholme, and Kanayama) and enjoy using each one. Any one wold be enough to get the job done, but like razors, soaps, and brushes, I enjoy using a variety. Bison also makes a quality strop, and the Pegasus strops from The Imperial Shave are about as good as you can get. If I didn't already have a quality cordovan shell, I'd get one of theirs.

I just picked up a 3” Tony Miller. I have used his strops for years and they are excellent. This one however is gonna (hopefully) turn into a project. Thinking the end pieces will be some exotic leather. Elephant, alligator, stingray...along those lines. Project is still pretty much in the planning phase. Stay tuned
