My horween #2 shell arrived on friday. It is a spectacular piece of leather. I'll lay it out this evening (my wife has me committed to some things today) to see what someone hypothetically get out of it if they did two strops. Regardless of whether or not I could get two 20 inch strops out of it, I'm going to take the longest piece I can right out of the middle and probably sell the rest of the leather on the S&S from either side to get back part of the money.

It is a spectacularly tanned piece of leather, very different on the surface and in thickness vs. the kanayama leather (which I still haven't used, being honest to my wife about it being a Christmas present).

I WISH I could find another silk finish NOS linen to go with the horween.
