I have a Vintage DD Cordovan Shell Strop. It's like glass. I have lot's of strops, but I have to say the Kanayama Cordovan is extremely nice. It's the nicest strop I've come across. TBH, I hardly use it because it's so nice. Seems silly, right?

If someone wanted a real nice strop, You wouldn't be disappointed with Kanayama. I have the old 90,000. I'm not sure what they call them now.

These days, like Jimmy, I lean towards the horse. I like minimal draw. I love SRD's premium #1, it's nice and supple, then their English Bridle. Both are excellent. Both are 3" wide. The English Bridle is extra long.

I also have Tony Miller's Steerhide in 2 1/2 wide, and he did a limited edition Horse for me about 2 years ago, 3 inches wide.

The Steerhide has a bit more draw than the Horse, but they're both really nice.
