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 7-7.5“ 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.
