Just purchased a Large leather strop made by stropman, to maintain my convex edge, I'll post pictures of it when it arrives next week!

Anyone else have a stropman strop?
 
Have two strops from stropman. They aint bad. I hate waiting a month for a strop I coulda made myself in a couple days though. Giving one as a gift for Xmas. I would avoid the white compound he sells. I cannot get to to stick/absorb in the leather. Get the black and green.

I know, I've bought the white it is very hard to apply, I bought the Black & green compound.
I like the quality of his work so I don't mind waiting, if it supports his small business I'll be happy.
 
I have the large. I like it. That and my knives plus strop. I hold the compound over a burner on my stove to heat it up a bit. It's much easier to apply then.
 
I have the strop man with the double sided ten inch I believe.
I run the black on one side and the green on the other for a finer polish after removing the burr with the black.
It has been atleast six months and I have used it daily.
Top notch product from a great guy.
Gotta love it.

I use my stropman every day. I have recommended his stuff numerous times to friends and family.

My feelings exactly as well..I just paid for a 4 STROKE strop but apparently they're backordered until April. I have no doubt the quality is amazing, the customer service as well and it'll be great when it arrives but waiting possibly 30 days for a product I've already paid in full is a bit like how people advise not to pay full deposits for custom knives. A product should be put 'out of stock' on their site as well as Ebay site if there isn't available stock available immediately.
