+1 for the Roo strops
Got a rollup travel one and a paddle strop
Now learning the art of good stropping
Nice to see another person making them

Enjoy

I've thought of trying one, but I think it might tend to jump a bit. Would be nice to store my shaving brush in the pouch though.

I've been using Kangaroo leather as my sole strop now for quite a few years. They do not jump, skip etc. In fact, they provide immediate feedback to the stropper through both hands due to their thinness - you do not get this same level of feedback using a traditional thickness strop. If you want to see one in action, I am using it in both my shaving routine video and my extreme stropping video. I've had many strops over the years, but I have found the edges I can produce off the Kangaroo leather to be the best I've ever had. If you can get past the idea that thin is "bad" and learn to use one properly, in time you are in for a world of eye-opening stropping, IMO.

I believe I've said it a couple of times, but the 'roo strop rocks. It's bumped my other strops to the back of the line.

Jimbo,

I just wanted to say thank you. As you know, I ordered some roo hide; it should be here in 15 business days, aka 3 weeks. I'm looking forward to putting your instructions to the test.

Lazarus, Blix, and LeagleEagle were in the chat room tonight, so I know they're probably interested in how this turns out. To LeagleBeagle, if I can churn one out, I'll send you one gratis.

Thanks again.

I've been trying like hell to find one after reading everyone's glowing reviews. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I really enjoy my roo strops. I have one of legions early models as well as SRD's roo. As has been mentioned they feel unlike
anything I have used with the sole exception of Scrupleworks's cow hide which I find very similar both in thickness and draw.
