    Default Next strop?

    I wanna get a new strop. I currently am using a Dubl Duck made strop and I think it's time to try something else. I want a high quality strop with whatever price tag. I just want quality.

    tony miller if you have been useing a old worn out vintage strop . your jaw is going to drop to the floor the frist time you drag your razor across a miller latigo.draw? it feels like if you did 100 laps your 5/8 would grow into a 6/8 . i strop 10 linen 20 latigo and 10 on my old very slick e-bay special
    the result is wonderfull.

    Quality then I guess Kanayama/codorvan or some other Japanese strop is in the 400 range, I just upgraded from a black 3 wide latigo to a Bridle strop in 3 wide from SRD about 85 bucks, and I love it. Very soft supple leather, great draw, and well supporting the founder of this community.

    Cheers

    Latigo is a very popular leather for strops, and it gives good results.

    I have an SRD 3" black latigo strop, and it has loads of draw and gives great edges to my razors.
