This is great to keep your blades extra sharp and have a gentle and smooth shave. You can easily make your own strop using the template on my site here: This strop is only long as I wanted it to fit on 1 pieces of standard 8. 5 x 11 paper. Easily add some length to it for a bigger surface area Be sure to add some jeweler s rouge to ensure a smooth edge for any knives, leathercraft tools you plan on sharpening.
