Did you put Dovo White in the linen or leave it untreated? I think Jarrod said that Torolf himself recommended it, but I could be wrong.
I'm thinking this will be my next shaving purchase after my bank account recovers from my Oozuku!

I did not add any Dovo white, just started using it like it was. It is correct that Torolf says you can use the white Dovo on the linen if you want a smoother surface, but with some break in the linen will be perfect without the Dovo, so I wanted mine to be "all natural".

I put Dovo white on my 2" Scruple, works quite awesome, but it was just as awesome without.

Man, if this was offered in 2.5" widths I think I'd be all over it.

I'm pretty sure you can get one in 2.5". I know that he told me that he prefered not to do a 3", but I talked him into it.

I think I'll leave mine natural, now that I think of it. I really like the feel of my TM linen as is & I take it this is very close to that. Still really curious about that worsted wool option, but if Jarrod doesn't get any in, I'll probably just go w/ the 3" w/ linen.

Craftsmanship and beautiful are the two words that come to mind when first encountering this strop. The leather is soft and flexible, allowing for easy storage during travel. The linen is rustic looking; reminiscent of jute. I wouldn't dare put anything on this rare linen.
The 2.5" strops can be ordered from Fitjar (worsted wool), or from Torolf with natural herringbone linen.
For the unaware, he is currently offering Horween oil tanned horsehide strops here.
