I guess its time for an update. Here's my strop so far.Two leather sides, one mousepad side. Plus my awesome cardboard strop.










My attempts to photograph the edge I put on my Rough Rider are pretty much a fail fest. The last couple aren't so bad.










Its really not cutting the way I want it to. Somehow the third toward the tip is pretty good, While the other two thirds are kind of mediocre.It slices pretty good, but doesn't push cut or shave well. For as pretty as the edge looks, I'm not impressed with my work thus far.
