    +1 I like my Filly too and just use an over door hanger... of course I make sure the door is securely closed prior to start stropping.

    I'm bringing this thread back from the dead!

    Has anyone noticed a slight 'ridge' on the rough side of the filly? The 'ridge' runs along the very outside sides of the rough side of the strop. It's not a large ridge, I'm using that term for lack of a better word. And I don't mean to nitpick the Filly, because I absolutely love it. But I'm just a little worried when I strop on that side this slight ridge might mess with my edge. Should I try to file it down just a little bit?

    Taking some fine sandpaper to it wouldn't hurt IMHO.

    Didn't even think of sandpaper! That's seems like the obvious way to go though. Thanks!

    I know nothing about the strop. Others on this site might suggest trying to reduce the fuzz with sandpaper or pumice. I tried that on a strop and I had trouble making it work. However, maybe this is something you could try: how to spokeshave leather « jeff peachey No guarantees from me if it doesn't work, kudos if it does. Seriously, if you do try it do let us all know the results, please.
