Thread: Illinois strop good enough?

I think the truth is that as long as you stay away from ebay garbage strops, it's hard to go wrong.

Tony miller is heirloom quality, quite literally. SRD, which is what I use, is really great as well. A good Illinois is effective, simple, and consistent. Ruprazor, Dovo, same deal. Good, effective, nice looking strops. My first was an ugly, torn up, vintage leather/linen combo strop I bought from the classifieds.

At the end of the day, I think it's 95% preference, and 5% budget.
