I don't spend much time in the strop forum at all. Mostly I read the hone forums. I also have no real need for a new strop, not really, but I must say that the travell roo strop has got me thinking. Right now I've got a big Neil Miller strop for my home, and I love it. But for traveling I've got a TI travel strop. It's not bad, but I wish I could travel with a reasonably-sized three-inch hanging strop.
My questions are as strop-ignorant as they are simple:
Are you using roo hide because it it's thinner than other strop leather?
I've always read that rolling strops would stretch or crease the leather. Is the Roo leather especially resistant to these problem due to its thin nature?
p.s. the Brass tube modification is brilliant. A genuine improvement.
