    I use a Tony Miller latigo, a Hand American Old Dog Chicago Special and an Old Mac Scotch Shell that I got from Josh. The latigo has the most draw and the Old Dog has the least but the Scotch Shell is like butter.

    I am using a tiny Dovo, it is cowhide. But I have ordered from Strop-shop a Buffalo strop with a linen side. It is 3" wide and much more longer. Hope it works very well. It should arrive on next week.

    Default What kind of strops do you guys use?

    Gentlemen:

    I am down to the following strops:

    1. SRD English Bridal (long), which I use for all the 6/8" razors. I must say, this is a sweet strop, although I think I would prefer the shorter version.

    2. Illinois 127 and 827. These are for my 5/8" blades. Granted, I have never found the workmanship on the Illinois strops topnotch, but for some reason I am fond of them.

    3. Tony Miller 2" strop with string attachment. This is a beautifully-made little strop and I use it for travel with my two 4/8" razors.

    4. Ruprazor pasted strop.

    5. SRD 2" pasted strop.

    I just hope this thread does not tickle my fancy to start looking for another strop. I really don't need one. On second thought, maybe I'll go on the Internet to see what's out there . . .

    Regards,

    Obie

    Wow, I love strops just as much as hones and razors.

    My favorite is an Old Dog signature with English Bridal on one side & Cardovan on the other. I also use a vintage Irwin strop with Hess Hair linen a lot, a SRD latigo, Shumate vintage, Manhattan Hone vintage, & several homemade hanging & paddle strops.
