I've never tried the filly or the latigo (though I did just order a latigo to try) . I've got a bridle leather strop from whippeddog and the SRD Premium II. I haven't touched the one from whipped dog in a while. I really like the super smooth, effortless draw of the premium II. If the filly is smooth with minimal draw, get the premium II so you get the SRD look. :)
I'd take SRD any day over the Ruprazor, but that's my personal preference. I have both, the Fily, and Latigo strops. Lately, I'm fond of minimal draw, but again, it's personal preference. The Fily I have is like sueded cowhide, that's the best way I can describe it. Latigo is treated, and has more draw than my Fily. For SRD, I really like the Premium 1, and their Long English Bridle...Now, I probably gave you even more to think about...To me, The SRD Premium 1 has perfect draw...
Consider this: you already have 2 good strops. Why not get some sandpaper, sand out theQuote:

THEN think about getting a premium strop.
Another new strop isn't going to help you improve your technique...only practice will do that.
Just a thought....
Good luck.
