Thread: SRD Strop

I have a TM Horsehide and Nylon, Latigo and Wool Felt, and SRD Bridle... I'm ona bad typing medium, so I can't go into lenght, but the bridle is so worth it. It's got the silky smoothness of fully broken in horsehide, with almost all of the superdraw of latigo. it's an all around beast, and I have yet to find a clothI prefer over the Bridle's nylon. It can't be beat.

Ok... I guess I'll just have to buy it to find out for myself. Review will be coming after I get it and have a chance to use it. I'm probably going to have to wait a couple of weeks, but this is to be continued...

I'm on a good computer now. Ok, here's my opinion on Bridle VS. Miller. The results I get from the Tony miller, going Nylon to Latigo to horsehide are a little bit better than the results of bridle alone... But, that's JUST the bridle, and twice the time. Only because the latigo has the draw to quickly shine up a used blade, and the horsehide is VERY light, so it puts a beautiful clean on the edge... However, Strop vs Strop vs Strop, if I am in a rush, or only want to do one stropping run, the bridle is the best there is. Bar none. I love my bridle. A lot. also, the difference between latigo to horsehide, vs bridle is not too noticeable.... I'd say, with 100 percent being the PERFECTLY treated razor, I can get a 95% from latigo - horsehide, and a 90% from the bridle alone... And my stropping technique is still beginnerish....

Also, by and large, the bridle's nylon material gives me better results than the TM nylon... I use my TM nylon for Crox now...

this is NOT to bash Mr. Millers products... His strops are simply amazing, and, when I use them fully, give me the best edge I could ask for... But when I'm in a hurry, the Bridle is my man.

Good luck, and happy stropping.

Cheers,
Jeremy
