How say you?
What is your preferred leather strop width?

I thought we just did this? But I'm on my phone, so I can't be arsed looking for the other thread... 
My first strop, when I obviously didn't know better, was 50mm/2", and I happily got used to that. When I ordered one of Tony's excellent Heirloom Strips, I stuck with it. No regrets. I use X-strokes on most of my hones, so stropping the same way makes sense.

I am happy with the 3" as well with the 2.5" (Kanayama) strop. No particular preference for size although my top preference now is for the type...Kangaroo Strop!

Yes there was a thread on strop width but just a discussion, not a poll.I thought we just did this? But I'm on my phone, so I can't be arsed looking for the other thread...
....
My hand naturally tilts the bade at an angle. I've ha 3" strops but never seemed to use that last 1/2 inch so 2 1/2 wins for mw.
When I started, 3 inch. Now 2.5 inch / 65 mm.
