"Also have scrupleworks strop that are close to 8cm but that one is slightly concave(perhaps perfect) and works fine".
Should have been:

I like the slight convex. Works fine with most people's slight "wobble/variations" while stropping and does not then cup which pretty is much an unusable condition unless corrected.
Yep. The OP asked where to get a quality 3" strop. He never asked which width was "best", so to me it seems like he knows what he wants.

Thank you! I already have a cheap 2.5 strop that does the job, it’s ok for a beginner strop and it does the x pattern well enough. I want a 3” strop even if the 2.5 is quote on quote better. I like the idea of having extra width and extra money isn’t an issue, I can still do x pattern on a 3” if I wanted 2. At least with a 3” I can experiment and do different things. At the end of the day I’m having fun learning how to straight razor shave, I don’t need to have all the answers right now, it’s a journey and I’m enjoying being able ti experience that here in badger & blade.
I really enjoy stropping on 3" strops btdubs, for hones I do like them narrow.
You can't go wrong with any size really, you'll get accustomed to using any size after some use.
