    And there was a box in my mailbox today!

    It's incredibly nice, the leather is a bit thicker than on the 2", yet still really soft. The wool strop will be killer with some break-in.

    Default Torolf,you make a fantastic strop

    Thanks to you enablers my Scrupleworks 3 inch strop arrived today.I just got thru stropping a razor for the morning and I believe I just used one of the best strops that money can buy.
    The leather is competely amazing,the draw is nothing like any other strop I have used and I would say it is damn near perfect.
    I have found the strop for me.

    + 1 on the above. I have been using the 3" leather/linen and it is a pleasure to use. Just the right draw on the leather and I have only used linen so it comes together well with this strop!

    I just ordered a Scrupleworks 3" from Jorunn at Fitjarsoap.no tonight. Looking forward to receive it, looks and sounds fantastic!

    For those who have them, I take it you're finding the leather to be very flexible? My favorite strop for that reason is the SRD P3 (buffalo), but sometimes I'd prefer slightly less draw. Getting intrigued...

    Yeah it's very flexible for sure.

    That wool looks great & I like 2.5" width! Hopefully SuperiorShave will carry those also. How would you say the wool differs from the linen he uses, if you've had a chance to break it in yet? I'm hoping it'd be very good cleaning, but very smooth on the blade.

    I have used my new 3" Scrupleworks for a couple of days now, and I can say that without any new honing or whatsoever, just using this strop gave me a new experience when shaving with a straight razor. Not that my other strops are bad, I use a SRD Black Latigo and a Ambrose, but this strop has a just incredible leather, and a perfect lenght for stropping. It is quite a bit longer than my SRD Black Latigo.

    The Thiers-Issard 7/8 I used this evening performed like never before after 50 linen and 100 leather on the Scrupleworks strop. It is expensive, but worth every penny, craftmanship is excellent and performance seems even better if possible. Shaving with straights is learning by doing, and I found something special a couple of days ago. If you are a Strop lover I think these strops are up there among the finest there is.
