I was thinking of getting one of two strops as I like the look of both of them. I usually use my arm but I really like the look of these two and they are handmade and don't make ridiculous blade life extension claims like some other companies. The first one is the Hone Alone ( https://honealone.com/shop/hone-alone-razor-sharpening-block/ )which is handmade in the USA and uses a strip of rubber on top of a plywood block. The other, the Eureka razor blade sharpener, is a German made strop that is made of beechwood with leather set into it. I was just wondering if rubber or leather would be the better option for the stropping strip? Here is a pic of the Hone Alone: Here is the Eureka:
I decided I wont be buying either of these as I suspect my forearm and the pair of jeans would do the same thing for a cartridge and a leather belt would work fine for a DE.
