Strop I bought.

[Colog]

I just bought this strop on ebay. It is small, 1.5 inches wide. But i thought it would work well for my smaller pocket folders. Seemed cheap enough, so even if I don't like it, no big deal. So take a look at it. What do you think. Good buy or no?

Should serve well.

I used an old belt and valve lapping compound, but that had issues.

That looks more convenient and you'll get an entry to learn what you like.

I think you got a good buy. I see it even comes with some stropping compound. :thumbup: I prefer the chromium oxide (green stuff). Maybe you should get some green stuff and try the different compounds on each side and see what gives you the best results.
