order This strop is made from some of the finest new 100% flax linen made in Europe. It took me a long time to find a new linen material that was fine enough to offer as a strop in my shop.
This material is beautiful and very finely woven. This wide (2.75") double sided 100% flax linen strop is wider than most other new fabric strops. Some people like wider strops so you don't have to use an "X" pattern like you do with narrower strops. Wider strops allow you to use a simple forward and back motion when stropping your razor. This flax linen strop has a barber's end--usually preferred by more experienced strop users and straight razor shavers to give more control over tension while stropping.
I rotate various leather strops but the one constant in my daily shaving routine is the use of a flax linen strop. In my opinion, the cloth materials attached to most production leather strops are radically inferior to flax linen. The feedback, feel, and edge refinement of a flax linen strop is unrivaled.
