I received mine also, wanted to let everyone know my thoughts.
Service - Excellent. Reply email to Order/payment, very fast shipment, email upon shipment.
Wood - Excellent, well finished and generous handle without being too thick.
Leather - solidly and symetrically applied to wood (no loose edges), flat - no wrinkles, thick enough to last years.
Compound/Application - Since I ordered two I was able to compare. On both the application for the
Black and
Green were very thorough and well applied. The
Pink/White was good on one but more sparce on the other.
Incidentally, pretty large blocks of compound come with the strop bat.
Based on Koyote's post I was expecting a small amount of each compound to be included, that is not the case. No problem though, the compound kit of all three compounds is available for $15, a good price and I feel if you purchase the Bat you should also go ahead and purchase this compound kit and save on shipping the two seperately.
I rate this as a very nice product, substantial with out being bulky for home use. Very good price also. :thumbup:
Glad I got them.
