linen is supposed to be more aggressive than canvas. I only have one of each, but I find that it's true. Overall, I like the linen more.

Moved thread to "Strops" forum as this is a question, not a review of any particular strop.

Questions, problems, please email or PM me (or if I'm online, find me in Chat!)

The linen is thicker and more substantial and is nicer to use but in the end I don't find any differences between the two. Many here don't even use a cloth strop period.

Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.
