I think thickness is mostly personal choice. I use around a 7oz for my Artisans and Originals, 8 to 9oz. for my Apprentice strops as without a cotton/linen backing I felt they needed a bit more stiffness. A few have asked should it not be either thicker or thinner proving everyone has a different idea.
