I am looking to purchase a good strop. I have come across many vendors and websites with various types. Even ordered a T.I. 4 sided paddle strop, but was disappointed with its 1.5 inch width for its price, and am returning it. I hear that english bridle is a quality material. But all the configurations I seem to like are in "latigo" material. What's the difference in leather materials used for strops? What are the better materials? Or does it even matter as long as its a chunk of leather?
