jeindustries.com 4-sided Strop Bat ?

[plainjoe]

Anyone use one of these. Seems like a good deal for $35.00. Hows the quality of the compounds that are pre-loaded on it. $15.00 for the pack of 3 compounds seems like a good deal also.
Thanks.

I have always passed on these for fear of strop contamination from laying the strop down. Think about it...any time you use one side, the opposite side is probably resting on your bench...then you rotate the strop to the next grit, set the strop down on a new side and voila, you have cross contamination of various grits on the strop.

Perhaps this concern is ill founded, but that is the reason I have not tried one...

I have had same thoughts on all the strops I've seen with more than 1 side.

I have one and I love it. It's true that the compound drops off a bit when turning the strop over but it's far from "contaminated." It helps to put a towel down when using it so compound doesn't get on your table. I'd go for it.
