I looked at the highly recommended Filly but by the time you spend the money to get it shipped to Canada and factor in conversion, I'd rather spend a little more for a little bit better strop. Plus, on top of that Fendrihan has a Father's day special where you get 10% any purchase. Thanks again everyone.
I have been using that strop for years with excellent results. 20 laps on the linen, 30 laps on the leather is all that my razors need. You might need to flatten it depending on the grain. A little Lexol and a bottle or rolling pin and you are in business. Enjoy it and try to resist 'strop envy'.
