Thread: I need help finding a strop!!!

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 the
nicks, continue progressing with your stropping skills, and when you "have it down pat,"
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.

+1 I am reluctant to admit but it took me more than 8 months to learn a reasonable technique. I was told to practice with a butter knife, that way I wouldn't hurt myself, or more importantly, cut the strop. It was great advice, and I pass it on for what ever usefulnes it may be to others.
