I never thought I would be a strop AD guy, but fpessanha is doing bad things to me.
"There is a balance between thickness and supplenss. Too thick and too stiff is not as good, especially if the thickness is not needed as in a strop with a wider attachment point or hardware."

The above quote from my own post is why the balance between thick and thin is important. Thick (and slightly stiff) is less likely to cup, thin (and slightly pliable) conforms better to curved blades. Add to that personal taste in how you want it to feel (which may have nothing to do with how it works).

In this case thinner and more supple will pack much easier than mine would for sure and likely better if just for travel.
